Thank you so much for your response. I have considered the educational field, but I want to be more on the research end of it. I have been going back and forth from this program though http://musiceducation.bu.edu/master-of-music-degree/curriculum It gives me th classes I was going to take on psychology, and it's entirely from the perspective of music. I feel like the classes could segway easily to a neuroscience Ph.D program if I volunteer in a lab, there's one at UCD I could try. What do you think? The only reason I would chose this program, especially considering it's online, is because I feel like Boston U. is a great, well-renound school and I could continue to work. Thank you!

I got my undergratuate in music with an honors thesis I wrote on the effects listening to music has on chlid development: their ability to learn, their speed of learning, the effects on their personalities and how it can make students more accepting of foreign concepts and people. I have been a music teacher since i graduated in 2010. I have been able to create a music program centered around cultural exploration and basic music theory as a precurser to what I belive a music program should be in order for students to have a well-rounded understanding of it's capabilities.. I am looking for a masters program that can lead to a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience, and eventually a career studying and researching the effects of listening to and leaning to play music. I have been doing a lot of reading on the subject and have discovered that I need to understand psychology, cognition and neuroscience to be able to get to the degree I want. The problem is, without a science background, what do I get my masters in? To make matters worse, I'm in Sacramento and am looking for an online masters degree so I can continue to work. Does anyone have any advice on online schools or what subject I should persue. I know I may need to take basic classes just to apply to a masters program. But I need to figure out what program first. Thank you! I am itching to go back to school!
