Music Education/Performance
(Transfer Pathway)
The music department offers university-parallel courses leading to the Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Music Education degrees with the following pathways: music education or music industry. Students must select an emphasis of guitar, piano, vocal music or instrumental music. Music courses are designed to parallel courses in the music areas of the freshman and sophomore years of any senior college or university and fully prepare students to enter their junior year of study.
Music students are required to enroll in MUS 1911, MUS 1921, MUS 2911, and MUS 2921, participate in a performance ensemble, study piano (class or applied) and take lessons in their major applied area every semester in attendance at JC. Instrumental and Vocal Education pathway students must take piano as their minor applied music. Piano students may take either voice or an instrument as the minor applied, but voice is recommended. Non-music students are provided the opportunity to pursue an interest in music through individual and group performances, music courses, and private instruction (see laboratory fees); however, students seeking admission to performing groups (Band, Choir, JC Voices, Jones on Stage, Musical Theater, etc) must audition for membership. Performing groups are open to non-music students as well as to music pathway students; service scholarships are available for qualified participants in all performing ensembles. Auditions are held throughout the year. Practice room facilities are provided for those enrolled in applied music courses. All students enrolled in applied lessons are required to maintain daily practice periods.
Students in a music pathway enrolled in applied lessons must perform a jury for all applied faculty. Students who do not perform a jury will receive the grade of “I” or “F.” The student may perform a sophomore recital in lieu of the jury requirement for one semester.
