<BR>
The online Master of Music in Music Education at Kent State is new this spring, so I’m sure I’ll have more to report at a later date. We do not have immediate plans to do the same with music theory. Any questions about the music education degree can be addressed by Dr. Patricia Grutzmacher, coordinator of music education, at <a href="pgrutzma@kent.edu">pgrutzma@kent.edu</a>. At this time we also offer a parallel on-ground Master of Music in Music Education, but we think the online version will meet the needs of many working educators.<BR>

Best regards,<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT SIZE="4"><FONT FACE="Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:14pt'>Recently a student asked me about pursuing an online Master's Degree in Music Ed. I've noticed a couple of schools have such programs (Boston University and Kent State) and imagine others are on the way. I'd be interested in what list members may know about such programs. <BR>
<BR>
In addition, online degrees in Music Theory are likely in the offing. I value the traditional classroom experience a great deal so I tend to be skeptical, but this is undoubtedly the "wave of the future." I'd be interested in others' experiences and opinions about this issue.<BR>
