Music

The Associate of Arts in Music Degree at Grayson College is designed for transfer to four-year institutions. However, all students are advised to counsel with the university/college of their choice to determine if all courses recommended by Grayson College are applicable to that institution’s Bachelor of Music program. 


In addition to a degree, Grayson College also offers an Occupational Skills Award in Audio Engineering, and a Small Business Certificate in Audio Engineering, which is designed to be your first step toward a career as an audio engineer, producer, recording artist, live sound technician, film/video game composer, songwriter, or sound designer. The courses in this award are intended to provide a foundational understanding of music theory, music technology, and the field of commercial music. The courses in the certificate provide the necessary knowledge for managing a small business.
