The CCD music program runs the gamut of beginning lessons for those first exploring instrumental and vocal music to a professional curriculum of teaching and coaching in classes and studio formats.
Students learn to prepare for performance and auditions.
The music emphasis requires two years of music theory, harmony and ear training, appreciation and history, and private performance lessons on an instrument. The latest technology in place in the computer music course prepares students for a career in electronic studio composition or the audio recording industry. Student compositions can be played by the computer orchestra and synthesizer scores realized and notated for any ensemble. Many inexperienced musicians gain confidence and expertise through the guidance of CCD's expert faculty, all of whom hold advanced music degrees and have been tested in the professional world of live performance.
