Virginia Tech Music Education Audition Day - November 9, 2024

Virginia Tech welcomes all high school students interested in majoring in Music Education to campus for a special audition day. After morning auditions, students will engage in a special session to learn more about becoming a music educator, enjoy a complimentary lunch, and attend the Virginia Tech vs. Clemson football game as our special guest (with at least one accompanying adult) seated next to the marching band. We have a limited number of slots available, so reserve yours today.

Virginia Tech’s music education program offers a comprehensive and dynamic experience, preparing students to thrive in a wide range of teaching contexts. Our graduates are highly sought after for music teaching positions in Virginia and beyond. Our accelerated master’s degree program provides our students with extensive field experience and advanced pedagogical training, leading to higher starting salaries. With a strong legacy of leadership in Virginia music education, our students benefit from faculty and alumni deeply involved in organizations like the Virginia Music Educators Association. At Virginia Tech, students develop expertise in instrumental, choral, elementary general music, and music technology, giving them the flexibility to excel in diverse educational settings. In addition to rigorous academic training, students immerse themselves in a vibrant musical community, performing in world-class venues like the Moss Arts Center, participating in The Marching Virginians, or exploring new music in our state-of-the-art Cube performance space.
