The Music Performance major, offered through the Humanities Department, leads to an Associate of Science (AS) degree. This curriculum provides students with skills and knowledge necessary to pursue a wide spectrum of careers in music  and the entertainment industry. Students develop performance-based skills through a combination of classroom training and individual instrumental instruction. Participation in performances in a variety of musical styles will be a part of every student's program. Studies include the ability to analyze, critically assess and write about music  through  courses in music  history, music theory, and musicianship. This balanced approach to the AS in Music Performance degree provides students with a strong foundation in which to pursue a career in performance,  production, or education. Students transferring to a senior college will have the option of pursuing a Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
