Q: What are CCM's music programs?

A: The three full-time major programs at CCM are the general Music major, Artist Development major, and the Engineering and Music Production majors. These major programs can also be taken part-time, and scheduled to accommodate your availability. The two part-time programs are Demo Recording, and DJing and Turntable Technology. Private lessons are also available, most commonly taken in one hour, one-and-a-half hour, or two hour sessions. Half hour and forty-five minute private lessons are also available. For more information, please browse the Programs section.


Q: If I enroll in a particular program, can I still take classes outside of my program?

A: Yes. One of the advantages of studying at CCM is that you are not restricted to the classes in your department. Certain higher-level classes do have prerequisite classes which must be taken before you can enroll.


Q: Where can I go to jam?

A: On Tuesdays and Fridays from 2:30-4:30 pm you are invited to attend an open jam session with CCM's contemporary ensemble! Usually led by virtuoso guitarist Uros Raskovski, the jam session frequently performs in rock, funk, jazz, and fusion styles, among others. Everyone is encouraged to attend to play with other talented musicians and get a taste of what music education at CCM is like! We also keep information posted on campus about local open mic nights and jam sessions.


Q: What are some resources for musicians in the areas surrounding CCM?

A: There are several excellent music instrument shops and CD stores in Pasadena , including Guitar Center , Old Town Music, Canterbury Records, and Poo Bah Records. Nearby, in Hollywood , are several famous performance venues such as the Troubadour, the Roxy, and the Henry Fonda Theatre where you can go to experience the best touring performers as well as local acts from the thriving Los Angeles music scene.
