Music

Associate in Arts for Transfer

View Program Map  

A student earning the Associate in Arts in Music for Transfer Degree will utilize the theoretical elements of music to improve performance; perform music with regard to good use of pitch, tone, balance and expression; read and memorize music; improvise (as appropriate) and interpret music. Courses in the Music Department are designed to fulfill the needs of music majors, professional musicians, and those whose interest is avocational or recreational. Completion of the Associate in Arts in Music for Transfer Degree will provide a streamlined pathway for transfer to a CSU campus with a Music or similar major. Students are encouraged to contact a counselor and consult the Catalog for guidance when planning to transfer to a four-year institution in this major. Although not required to receive the AA-T in Music, the LPC Music department strongly recommends that its AA-T students complete MUS 1 – Music Literature and piano courses MUS 21A and 21B in preparation for piano placement exams. Students entering the BA in Music will be required to take placement exams in music theory and piano and audition on their major instrument.

Completion Requirements:

    2. A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district.
