Public school teachers must be licensed in Tennessee. Future teachers no longer major in elementary or secondary education. With the exception of special education and occupational education, a candidate must have an academic major. To be recommended for licensure, the candidate must pass the NTE core battery and a specialty area test in the licensure area. A professional teacher's license is issued to a teacher who has completed a minimum of three years experience in an approved school and who has received a positive local evaluation in a Tennessee public school system. The professional license is valid for ten years and is renewable by meeting state requirements. High school students who wish to become music teachers should pursue college preparatory courses. For additional information, visit the Tennessee Office of Teacher Licensing online.
Most college and university music teachers are categorized in four academic ranks: Professor, associate professor, assistant professor, and instructor. Four-year institutions generally only consider doctoral degree holders for full-time, tenure-track positions. In most two-year institutions, a master's degree will suffice.
