Advance your musical talent
The Music curriculum prepares you for opportunities that require a traditional degree and provides an outlet for your performance skills. Coursework is available if you are interested solely in advancing your music skills or earning the first two years of a four-year degree in Music leading to a Bachelor of Arts.
Applied music courses give you direct contact with performance faculty who help you improve your technical competence on your instrument or in voice. Music theory and history are offered for a better appreciation of the art form. Ensembles include Jazz Band, Rock/Pop Music Ensemble, Tailwinds (symphonic wind ensemble), Concert Choir, String Ensemble, and Soundwaves (vocal chamber ensemble).
An audition is required for placement in the Music AAS program, and for scholarship consideration. Learn how to audition for this program.
This program conforms directly with the Michigan Transfer Agreement and meets all of the general education requirements needed to transfer to a four-year institution while allowing some flexibility to students who are exploring a career path in music or music-related studies.
If you are planning to transfer to a four-year college or university, you should become familiar with your chosen school’s requirements. See your Academic Advisor for assistance in developing your Student Education Plan (SEP).
Scholarships are available for both music and non-music majors. Contact the Performing Arts department to learn more.
