Music
Whether your career goals are to conduct a symphony, compose an album, or become a musical theater star, LVC’s Bachelor of Arts in Music will help you strengthen your natural talent and achieve your ambitions.
Our music program is flexible and rigorous, allowing you to go deeper and focus your music development in one of the seven concentrations: composition, theory, sacred music, organ, instrumental, voice, piano, or jazz. You can also design your own concentration with the guidance of your music faculty designer. Need-based departmental scholarships are available.
