Practical Professional Development
Continuing Education
Music Education Center of America
Continuing education at VanderCook offers a variety of graduate courses designed for your continuing education needs as a professional music teacher. These practical courses are immediately useful in classrooms and can be a first step to a master’s degree, or a vital part of your professional development. Since its founding, our MECA curriculum has equipped teachers with the practical skills necessary for effectiveness in the music classroom, while providing a deeper appreciation for music’s role in our culture.
MECA courses qualify as electives toward a Master of Music Education (MMEd) degree!
