MUSIC DEPARTMENT
The San Bernardino Valley College department of Music prides itself on world-renowned faculty, which prepare students for musical and transfer success. Classes and rehearsals are back to an in-person experience, and we are thrilled to make music together again!
Music Major Orientation
Music Major Orientation takes place once per semester at the beginning of the term, to connect with students who are officially music majors or those thinking about it. We'll discuss required courses for the degree(s), universities to transfer to with decent Music programs, career trajectories, and answer any questions students may have. The next Music Major Orientation will take place in person and on campus Friday, January 20th, 2022 at 3pm in the MAC (North Hall room 164).
Music Major Auditions
Auditions are typically held during the first 2-weeks of the new semester. If you are enrolled in an Ensemble or taking lessons, you must participate in the audition. You may perform any standard piece of repertoire of your choice. Audition appointment signups will be posted on the office door of Professor Matie Scully, North Hall room 134 by the first week of Spring semester classes.
