Curriculum for our Music Majors
The program for our Music
Majors is an intensive, individual-oriented plan that emphasizes a balanced
approach to both the completion of core coursework at WCJC and a broad base
of Music courses and Ensemble work intended to prepare the student for
transfer to a four-year institution as a Music major or minor. The program
requires a significant commitment by the student to extra-curricular
practice and performance hours well beyond the ordinary expectations of a
full time student in general studies. In return, the Music faculty will work
on an individual advisory basis to ensure successful completion of each
Music major’s objectives.
Here are two examples. If
a student comes to WCJC to gain a base for completion of a teaching degree
in Music at a four-year institution, the Music faculty will guide that
student through the school’s AA degree in Teaching, Plan C (p. 115,
2007-2008 catalog). This will give the student the necessary credentials to
move forward to that objective. Currently, nearly 75% of our Music majors
are interested in a teaching career.
If, on the other hand, the
Music major intends to move toward a performance-based four-year degree, our
faculty will coordinate the course work here at WCJC with the four-year
institution that would best suit that student, preparing the student for the
necessary auditions that are part of that objective and a smooth transfer to
that school’s four-year plan.
All of our Music majors
will be required to take Sight Singing and Theory courses, piano lessons,
individual voice or instrument lessons, and participate in our ensembles
while at WCJC. Following are examples of Field of Study course plans that
can be used as a starting point for the individual program set up for each
Music major:
