Music

INTRODUCTION

This program is designed to provide students with basic skills and concepts in the field of music and to prepare the student completely for transfer to an upper-level institution. Students may choose as their principal instrument—piano, voice, organ, all woodwind instruments, all brass instruments, percussion, guitar, and strings. Students should consult with an advisor at the college or university they plan to attend for the specific courses recommended by that institution. We strongly encourage you to contact the Pensacola State College Performing Arts Department (P.A.D.) for assistance in planning your program of study.
