Music Majors
The Music Department of Temple College offers a wide selection of opportunities for students. Students who have
majors and minors outside of music are encouraged to participate in music courses, ensembles, and applied
instruction for a better perspective on the humanities and improved self-expression.
A full two-year program is offered for the music major and minor who will pursue a Bachelor’s degree. In addition to the traditional music curriculum, the Music Department offers courses in commercial music.
Music scholarships are available to deserving students, regardless of major. Interested students should contact the
Division of Fine Arts for audition times and details.
