Community

The MCC Music Department provides a variety of classes and performance ensembles that are open to the non-major student of any age and performances that are open to the public.

High School aged students are eligible to attend classes and participate in college ensembles with the proper permission of their school's administration or with the proper paperwork for home-schooled individuals- please see under-age student forms

Likewise, the same course offerings and ensembles are available to adult learners who are not music majors. Some exceptions do apply as certain classes are for designed for majors only. Please contact the director of the performance ensembles you wish to participate in for audition and admission requirements.

Music Department Philosophy

Our ultimate purpose is to provide a high quality music education in a stimulating and creative environment. Music majors and non-majors have the opportunity to audition and perform in vocal, instrumental or musical theatre ensembles. The department strives to prepare students for careers in commercial music, music education and performance. MCC prides itself as a leader among community college music programs who prepares students for a successful transfer to an university.

The performance of music is one of the oldest art forms and expresses a rich tradition of which you can become a part. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to fill out our contact form or call us at (480) 461-7575.
