Find your rhythm, shape your future
Music is more than notes on a page—it’s a language that connects us all. At CLC, you can turn that passion into a career.
Our Music programs provide both accredited degrees and a strong foundation for transferring to a four-year music program or beginning work as a music industry professional. Through coursework in bands, choirs, orchestra, music theory, history and performance, you’ll develop a comprehensive understanding of musical concepts, performance practice and technology. The program also offers ensemble participation, a musical study abroad opportunity and applied music lessons, allowing you to refine your performance skills on your chosen instrument or voice.
Looking for something specific? Our Music Technology programs cover live sound, digital audio production, music theory, and include Pro Tools certification. Enhance your degree with one of our three certificate options: Music Performance, Jazz or Music Technology. These flexible programs make the perfect complement to any major.
