AA/AS in Music

The Music Performance Associate in Arts develops vocalists and instrumentalists through training, technique and music theory. It is designed for moving on to a bachelor's-granting college or for entry into the music industry. Students complete the general education core and a concentration featuring a musicianship sequence each term, plus ensemble participation in groups such as concert choir, wind ensemble and jazz ensembles. The college acknowledges strong competition in the field. Graduates pursue work as stage performers, instructors of music, studio session players or in production and management, where networking and experience help. The program page lets prospective students apply, ask for more information or schedule time with an advisor, and it names a faculty contact who can answer questions about requirements and how courses fit together.
