Music

The Associate in Art in Music for Transfer prepares students to transfer to California State University campuses that offer bachelor’s degrees in Music. The Music AA-T degree prepares students to demonstrate competence and discipline in the study of music in all of its facets as well as read and audiate music. Completers will demonstrate proficiency in ensemble and solo performance skills. While a baccalaureate degree is recommended for a possible career in music production, performance, and music education, completion of this curriculum will demonstrate commitment to the study of Music in practice and in theory and will provide required preparation for upper-division work leading to a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music at a University.
