Preservice elementary education majors are required at many colleges and universities to take a course in music methods to become certified in their field. These courses are offered because they are a valuable component of a well-rounded liberal arts education and helps preservice educators to teach students in a well-rounded fashion. They are considered useful and necessary for all beginning general education teachers. However, not all preservice teachers recognize the importance or value of a methods class because of their less than favorable experiences in their elementary music classes and low self-efficacy to teach music effectively. Helping elementary education majors to see the value of integrating music in their curriculum--and that they are more than capable of doing so if they focus on their attributes and maintain a positive attitude with regard to their ability--may contribute to their success in the methods class and in their future classrooms.
