I am trying to help my daughter focus on an undergraduate degree as she will be a junior this September. At first she wanted to be a VP major and still does but her long-term goal is to teach and have her own studio though she loves performing. She has been taking piano and voice for man years. She wants to perfect her instrument and is concerned if she does do music ed even with a vocal/choral emphasis, she will not get the extensive training in voice that she would as a VP major. There are a couple of universities that allow one to double major in performance and music education but others do not. Some don't have music ed as an undergraduate degree. If she were to get accepted into a school as a VP major, would it be difficult for her to get accepted into a music ed masters program and visa versa with vocal performance? I was told by one university that masters in music ed programs prefer to accept those with undergraduate degrees in music ed. I am just wondering if those who take music ed with a vocal emphasis also have juries, take French, German and Italian diction and are able to audition for Operas? Thanks for any insight you can offer.
