ACM Gateway to Educational Teaching
(GET)

GET Program Process

Most states will accept a Master’s degree in music education instead of taking a standardized test (e.g., California CSET or Arizona NES), as long as it covers the four major domains of music education, along with instrumental/vocal and keyboard proficiency.
1.    Aural Analysis (basic aural recognition of major/minor chords and progressions)
2.    Music Theory
3.    Music History (Western Music History and World Cultures)
4.    Music Methodology (instrumental pedagogy and curriculum)

• ACM covers all the domains and proficiency requirements outlined in the GET Master’s of Education program.
• After earning the degree, the graduate applies for a single-subject credential in Music Education.

The GET Details

The American College of Music offers a Master’s in Music Education program for students seeking a single-subject credential in music education. This program provides a pathway to teaching music in the classroom, even if you do not have an undergraduate degree in music. Upon acceptance into the Master of Music in Education (MME) program, a faculty advisor will help you create a personalized course schedule that covers all required subjects to prepare you for obtaining a teaching credential. Please note: This is not a credentialing program.
