A Music Teaching Job?
I want to be a music teacher. Elementary. I’m pretty good at theory and conducting but barely good at any instrument (horn, voice, piano, none very good). Are there any colleges (preferably public) where I could get a degree in music education without having to go through an audition process?
I teach music at a k-12 school, ages 12-17 and sorry to say that you need to play most instruments well. I did drums at college so that’s what my "speciality" is, but I can also play piano. guitar, flute, violin and I know the basics of most other instruments and i’m also a vocalist. I NEED to be able to-if I didn’t I wouldn’t be able to do my job.
To become a music teacher I had to pass practical exams, and if I had of failed them I wouldn’t be teaching.
I don’t know if it’s changed-I doubt it. But still look at college sites and see what their requirements are.
If you’re going to teach music, you’re going to need to know how to
play 
Good luck!

It depends on the school … I originally went to school for music education and I had no audition….for that (I did audition to be in the choir)
really any school will have a program just check into it
