Training

The Commercial Music AA Performance Emphasis prepares performers for popular styles used in radio, television, recording and live concerts.

Its 35–36-unit major combines theory and musicianship, applied study, piano, improvisation, MIDI, recording-studio technique and music-business fundamentals.

Performance & Degree Breadth

Ensemble work can include jazz, concert or symphonic band, college or vocal choir, or Commercial Music Ensemble, with electives in commercial harmony, voice, piano, songwriting and advanced recording.

Unlike the certificate, the AA adds a complete general-education pattern and sufficient electives for at least 60 units, supporting both workforce preparation and possible four-year study.
