Associate in Arts Degree
Transfer Program
“In a world of political, economic, and personal disintegration, music is not a luxury but a necessity, not simply because it is therapeutic nor because it is the universal language, but because it is the persistent focus of man’s intelligence, aspiration, and good will.” -Robert Shaw.
The Music Department at Cañada College, through its outstanding faculty, places strong emphasis upon performance, both individual and group. At the same time, the department offers the general student enhanced understanding and appreciation of all forms of music. Through this two-fold approach, the department’s purpose becomes clear: to promote excellence in all aspects of music performance and academic course work, to provide basic preparation for careers in music, and to promote interest in all musical and artistic endeavors at the college and in the Bay Area community.
