The Peabody Conservatory Department of Music Education is launching a new format for the master’s degree program this fall, tailored to the needs and skills of contemporary working musician-educators. The Master of Music in Music Education, in a HyFlex format, allows graduate students who are already certified music teachers in any state to study Peabody’s graduate coursework in a hybrid of remote and in-person ways. HyFlex students participate in the same Music Education classes as the in-person master’s students for core coursework but with multiple ways to attend: online and in-person, and often in the early evenings.

Electives needed to complete the degree are offered either in the evenings or asynchronously online, permitting working teachers to pursue the degree while also concentrating on their careers with only a few visits to campus required each year.
Threaded into the degree is Peabody’s outstanding Breakthrough Curriculum coursework that provides tools and strategies that working music teachers can utilize to optimally navigate the realities and responsibilities of being successful 21st-century artist-educators.
