Music
Courses in Music are intended for students who have an interest in studying music as a complement to their chosen program. While these courses do not provide a major in Music, the College does offer courses in music history, appreciation, creation, and performance.
Students have several options for private or group instrumental or vocal lessons. The Music Lessons Program, in partnership with two prominent local music schools, offers non-credit private or group lessons at special rates negotiated for MMC students. Music lessons also may be taken as for-credit Independent Study projects (lesson fees + credit fees). Additionally, through our articulation agreement with Hunter College, MMC students may take up to 6 credits per semester at Hunter, including group instruction in piano, guitar, voice, and many other courses in their Music programs. For further information about the Lessons Program, contact Prof. Andy Warshaw.
Students may elect to take one of the minors in music. The Music Minor is designed to promote musical knowledge and literacy as a component of interdisciplinary scholarship, and provides a framework for creative opportunities for students with musical skills already at an intermediate level. The Music Minor requires 18 credits distributed among three areas of study: Music Scholarship (6-9 credits), Musicianship (3-9) and Creative Production (3-6). In this way, students can customize the minor to complement or expand their interests and abilities. The Music Industry Minor provides students with the preparation to enter careers in the contemporary music industry including music supervision and the use of music in entertainment and media. The minor’s core courses ensure that students are knowledgeable about the standard practices and procedures of the industry, while elective courses invite students to follow aspects of the field in more depth.
