The Music Option, through a rigorous program of academic and performance courses, provides a comprehensive foundation in which students receive individual attention within their private lessons and interact with other performers in classroom and large ensemble settings. The music program emphasizes ensemble and solo performance with additional study of music theory and history. Musicians of all capabilities and experience can prepare for their particular musical goals including seasoned musicians as well as the talented beginner exploring music for the first time. Music majors pursue careers in performance, education, composition, audio recording, concert sound reinforcement, commercial production, church music, musical instrument service and sales, or arts management. The Transfer Program is designed for students wishing to complete their degree at a 4-year college or university; requirements vary and students should seek assistance from the Music Advisor. The Transfer Program articulated with Western CT State University guarantees admission with complete transfer of NVCC courses. See the Music Advisor for details.
