Arts and Sciences A.A.
The music curriculum is designed for the student who
plans (1) to earn the bachelor of arts degree with a major in music;
(2) to earn the bachelor of music education degree; (3) to earn the
bachelor of music degree with a major in performance, theory-composition,
or history-literature; or (4) to seek employment upon completion of
the A.A. Montgomery College is a community college member of the National
Association of Schools of Music.
Completion of all requirements for this track will lead
to the award of the A.A. in arts and sciences. In addition to the
specific course sequence outlined in this section, the following department
requirements must be met:
1. Music majors enrolled in applied music courses must
also register for MU 005 Applied Music Laboratory.
2. Students receiving the A.A. must perform in a graduation
recital.
3. All applied music students must register each semester
for MU 161, MU 171, or MU 172, as assigned by the department.
The student normally takes 17–18 semester hours
each semester for a total of 69–70 semester hours. The actual
courses taken each semester will be selected by the student in consultation
with a music adviser. Courses are selected from those general subjects
required for graduation (General Education foundation and distribution
requirements) and those necessary for acquiring musical knowledge
(music requirements).
Anyone wishing to major in music at Montgomery College
must first complete an audition interview with a full-time faculty
member in the Department of Music. A suggested course sequence for
full-time students follows; part-time students as well as full-time
students must consult an adviser from the department before registering
for music classes.
