The Career
The Music certificate is designed for those who wish to develop their musicianship and explore an academic program in music. It provides students the opportunity to assess their musical skill and explore the college learning environment. The program offers practical application in music composition, ear-training, sight-singing and basic piano skills, and develops understanding of European classical music as well as American popular music.
