Music Program
The Music program at 网赌正规真人实体在线平台 gives you the opportunity to explore music, whether it be as a passion or as a curiosity. Courses will give you the foundation for a future degree as a professional musician, composer or K-12 teacher and fulfill humanities electives requirements for students seeking another path. Through studies in music, you will:
- Learn the foundational skills necessary to go onto a four-year degree in music.
- Develop as a professional artist.
- Satisfy the humanities requirement for an AA.
- Learn to apply and appreciate music in its many forms.
Music offerings at 网赌正规真人实体在线平台 meet the requirements for the first two years of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degrees in music at most four-year institutions, enhance the musical knowledge and performance ability of students wishing to enter the professional field with an Associate in Arts degree, and provide general leisure activity.
