The idea of having to take a standardized test just to teach General Music may sound bizarre, at first—especially to the untrained. However, as a prospective General Music teacher, you know well the amount of skill required to educate your students, not just on a technical level but a scholarly level.
Playing music is hard enough on its own, but teaching it is a different animal—one that requires not only years of training to handle, but one other task. If you plan to teach in the state of Oklahoma, you’ll also have to take and pass the OSAT Instrumental/General Music exam.
