Hi I'm Lindsay Six and I'm here to show
you what it's like to be a music
education major here at West Liberty
so now we're gonna check out my choral
techniques in literature class and
because there are only four of us in the
class we just meet in my instructors
office. Well start by wrapping up this reading
I think we were around page 118 maybe is
that where we were? The music education
courses here at West Liberty you can be
choral music education or instrumental
music education it all depends on what
your major instrument is and what you're
comfortable with. I think the biggest
benefits of being in music education are
the different opportunities that we get
in the community and within the college
the different ensembles, there's a lot of
one-on-one time and it's very personal.
Now let's go check out Steel Band ensemble.
I always kind of knew that I was gonna come to West
Liberty because it was affordable and it
was close to home but once I got on
campus and I finally met the professor's
and I toured the campus and I met the
choir director I really ended up loving it.
Now we're gonna check out my
educational psychology class
So last week I asked you to start thinking
about some traits and
characteristics of what makes a great
teacher and what makes a teacher I asked
you to put those attributes around your name
as you are going to be a great teacher
Llet's go check out my private
voice lesson with dr. Linda Cowen hey
how are you good
music education and music just in
general we take so many credits it's
more credits than other majors typically
so that it shapes you into someone
that's always on time someone that puts
the best effort forward and a lot of
people think that music majors have so
many credits because it's our ensembles
that give us those credits most of our
ensembles are one credit classes or we
take them for zero credits so it's a lot
of the academic music courses that take
so many credits. I feel like I lose
support when I try to do that so then I
try to make up for it with mouth size so
why don't we try this don't analyze just
say I want this to decrescendo and you
know you want it to so just do it look
more support more low support hook from
the belly button
(singing)
As a music education major here at West
Liberty University we have tons of
ensemble opportunities so this year I'm
the drum major for the West Liberty
University marching Hilltoppers.
WLiberty has tons of opportunity out of
the classroom we have so many ensembles
for everyone we have African drumming
steel band three different choirs we
have Wind Ensemble and community band
there are so many things in the Wheeling
community that people like to be a part
of and they want West Liberty to be a
part of it
Hopefully this gave you a good look into
what it's like to be a music ed major
