Arts or Music Education

鶹ҹ music education major Katy Meaux sits in front of a piano in an on-campus performance hall

“I’m learning a lot. I already feel like I’m more comfortable in the classroom, and I’m finding my teaching style. I’m very happy that I get full-year student-teaching experience — you get to know the students better, and now they know me, they trust me. They understand that I’m also learning, and they want to help me run the class as best I can.”
