1, background requirements
Music education is a combination of music and education, and applicants are usually required to have a background in music, such as music or a bachelor's degree in music education. GPA generally requires 3.0 or above.
2. Language requirements
Language requirements vary from school to school, with 80-90 points and IELTS 6.5-7 points. Some schools have slightly higher requirements, so if you apply for this major, you'd better get a language score of 90 or above to 100. Some schools do not explicitly require GRE scores, while others do, such as Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Southern California. Pacific University stated that if the undergraduate GPA reaches the "exemplary level", there is no need to submit GRE scores. Most art colleges do not require GRE.
3. Other requirements
Works/Audition: Generally speaking, music courses in specialized art colleges and comprehensive universities need to submit works or participate in auditions, and the requirements for works and tracks depend on the school. Most projects in other comprehensive universities do not need works; Writing samples/papers: writing samples are required in general comprehensive universities and education-oriented directions. However, the music-oriented direction of professional art colleges and comprehensive universities is not needed; Work experience: it can be roughly divided into two types of schools/majors. One is a school that has no or flexible requirements for work experience. When choosing this kind of school/major, you can generally have relevant internship experience to apply. Another type of school/major requires strict work experience, usually requiring 1-2 years of work experience.
