Campus TourMusic Education for Grades K-12
Combine your music degree with classes that prepare you to teach in the public schools. At Fort Lewis, you'll work with great performers who are also nationally recognized leaders in the field of music education.
Under their guidance, you'll combine performing with teaching. Besides the ensembles and academics, you'll take fun practical courses that lead to a K-12 teacher license.
You'll take part in internships and work with community groups, giving you a head start as a music educator. These groups include the Durango Children's Chorale, the Durango Choral Society, the Durango Youth Symphony, Southern Ute Head Start, area schools and even our own Campbell Child Development Center.
You'll also benefit from Fort Lewis' Music Program -- one that is unmatched by any comparable college in the West. Consider this:
- Study with outstanding professors who perform extensively.
- Enjoy high quality academic courses, ensembles, and private lessons taught by professors, and not graduate students.
- Study and perform in Durango, a hub for artistic and musical events.
- Broaden your outlook at a leading liberal arts college. At Fort Lewis College, you will examine a wide range of ideas, and explore how music and the arts play a role in today's society.

Our music students work with area schools, youth symphony and child development centers, offering the gift of music education. In Fall 2006, students in a music class stepped in to provide ongoing music and band at Ignacio High School after the school's band director became seriously ill.
