Music is a pre-university Diploma of College Studies (DEC) offered at Cegep de Sainte-Foy over two years, with intake in both the fall and winter terms. The program is organized into four profiles — Classical, Jazz-Pop, Virtuoso, and Musical Theatre — and centres on individual instrumental lessons with a qualified teaching team, alongside coursework in ear training, analysis and writing, music literature, composition, and music technology. Students perform in concerts, competitions, and productions across a range of musical styles, and have access to international cultural trips and other music-related activities. A double-DEC option combining Music with Social Sciences is available to students who qualify. The program suits committed music students seeking personalized instrumental instruction and regular performance opportunities, whether they intend to continue into university-level music study, pursue a performing career, or apply their training in another professional direction. Depending on the profile chosen, additional coursework such as movement training or a choice between music technology and composition may apply.

The program is offered starting in both the Fall and Winter terms.
