- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigates the preparation of the education programs of music teacher for exceptional populations at the undergraduate level in the U.S. The online survey asked if a course is required or offered by National Association of Schools of Music (NASM) accredited universities that granted doctoral or master degrees in music education. Results show that 40.2% of respondents have stated that they lack of consistent, planned opportunities for undergraduate music education majors and 29.6% of the institutions required a course in teaching music to special populations. Moreover, findings have indicated the wide variation of the ways that music teacher preparation programs approached with exceptional populations.
