The Music Education major equips future servant leaders with knowledge of the diverse learners and content they will teach, skills in planning instruction, assessing, and managing, as well as character reflecting appropriate interaction with the school community, life-long learning, and a calling as a Christian servant leader with a Biblical worldview for kingdom service. The Professional Teaching Objectives for this major are based on the InTASC standards. Students in this major specialize in either choral or instrumental music. This program leads to certification in grades kindergarten through 12. Students in this program must perform an entrance audition for the Music Department.
“I chose to attend Toccoa Falls college for my undergrad because of the community on campus and the Music Education program. I knew that I wanted to attend a smaller, Christian school, and that I wanted to teach. Toccoa Falls provided both of these things. As a student at TFC I felt cared for. Music Education is not an easy program to complete, but I was able to accomplish it with the support of the TFC community and professors.”
