Clarendon College offers a transferable Associate of Arts degree in Music designed for students who plan to pursue baccalaureate degrees in Music, Music Performance, or Music Education at a senior college or university after completing their studies at Clarendon College.
While at Clarendon, the music major will have the opportunity to study Music Theory and History in small classes, using hands-on and small group learning activities.
Music students perform in choral and instrumental ensembles that perform throughout the semester in concert and for community events.
Students who are interested in pursuing Music Education degrees have opportunities to work with and observe area choral and band directors in the classroom setting.
