The Music Department at
Paradise Valley
Community College
Program of Study for Music Majors
This program of
study has been designed for music majors at
PVCC to
aid them in course selection
and to facilitate an easy transfer to a 4 year institution as a music
major.
All music majors at
PVCC must take each of the required
courses,
unless special permission has been granted by the music department.
This program of
study is equivalent to the first two years at
a 4 year
institution.
Completion of all of the required courses will not grant students
automatic acceptance
into a 4 year university or it's music program.
Each university will
require students to pass a music performance
audition
and a music theory exam
before they are admitted into the university as a music major.
