K-State Music Education Brochure

“I feel like my time at K-State prepared me for the real word of teaching in the best way possible and I could not be more grateful for it! Not only do I have a good foundational knowledge of music, but I also have a great set of tools to help others learn music and an ever-evolving philosophy of what music education should look like. If you get involved and plug in, you walk out the doors of K-State with a great starter set of tools to be a successful musician and educator.”
