It depends on exactly what you mean. If you mean teaching in an elementary school, yes, you need a degree. Almost all, if not all, schools require a degree to be a teacher. If you want to teach private lessons or at a private music academy that is not a school, then you don't have to have a degree unless the academy requires it. In the state of Michigan, where I taught elementary music for many years, you needed at the very least a minor in music to teach it on the elementary level, and preference went to candidates with a major in a music discipline area.

It depends on the country and specific school. Most colleges and universities within the United States that do not have a specific school of music offer music degrees as BAs. Others have tracks off their bachelor of fine arts degree (BFA). Others with specific schools may offer the degree as a BM, or BMus. If you took this degree as an education program with state teachers certification, the degree is most often a BA. The best thing to do is contact and inquire the infromation from the school you attended.
