Can I major in Music and Early child hood education??

Question

what can I do with both? can I major in both? Can I be a Music teacher? do they pay good?

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

Yes you can do both, but if you're planning on working in Ohio I would do neither.  I majored in Early Childhood and Early Intervention Specialist... thank goodness I had the SPED otherwise I would not have a job near home right now.  I actually work as a teacher in the regular classroom, but I have the at-risk students and students on IEP's.  They both pay the same, it's based on education and years of experience.  Since I double majored, my salary started at step 0 bachelor's +20 (20 credits hours over 150).  This increased my beginning base buy by $1500/ year.  Follow your heart and passion though, I had many tell me not to be a teacher because they don't make a lot of money.  So I don't have a lot of money, but I completely love being a teacher!  Good luck!

Answer 3

You can major in anything you want to. Being a music teacher would pay much better than being in early childhood education, but you won't get rich doing either.
