Music, A.A.

This comprehensive two-year program prepares the student for transfer to a Baccalaureate degree-granting institution. The music program offers a broad range of courses and activities for students interested in developing skills in music theory and performance. Vocal, keyboard, or instrumental skills may be emphasized. In courses such as music theory, applied music and music literature, students study performance techniques, harmony and analysis, and the evolution of musical history and form. Music students should be creative, self-confident, and have a strong interest in the performing arts. An associate degree in Music provides the student with the background necessary for transfer to a four-year college or university and completion of a baccalaureate degree. Upon completion of their education, students may find career opportunities in such areas as performing, composing, arranging, teaching, music ministry, or music therapy.
