Commercial Music
Offered at the Levelland Campus

The commercial music curriculum is designed to provide the basic skills to equip the student to work in the field of popular commercial music, including country and bluegrass styles. The curriculum meets all requirements for the Associate of Applied Arts degree.

The Creative Arts department offers student musicians and technicians a nationally acclaimed opportunity to participate in an array of music training and performance experiences.

Faculty advisors guide students in choosing from a broad menu of private instrument lessons and ensemble classes (listed in paragraph blocks below each degree plan). These classes are open to all SPC students; but those seeking degrees under the Creative Arts Department may be subject to additional curricular requirements, including completion of a Capstone Experience.

Students seeking the Commercial Music associate degree or Certificate must satisfactorily participate in a full-length televised public performance (Music Festival) during their last semester in school. The students and faculty of the Creative Arts Department produce these full-length productions each semester.

Program advisor is Mickie Vasquez, program coordinator and instructor in commercial music.
