MUSIC MAJOR

CCM's music major is designed for students who want to learn music theory and performance technique. Our students are taught the basic musical language necessary to communicate with other musicians, read written music, learn songs by ear, and compose and spontaneously improvise their own music. Our industry professional and university trained instructors approach modern and classic styles from many different angles. Core Classes for the music major include:

    • Music Theory
    • Ear and Rhythm Training
    • Technique
    • Improvisation

Music workshop and lab classes expose students to different musical genres and new playing and/or singing techniques.
