The Applied Music track is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in Performance, Music Education and Music Therapy, while the Music Production track is designed for students who wish to pursue careers in Audio Engineering, Music Production, and related fields.\nIt is mandatory that a music major applicant contact the Arts and Design Department for an interview, placement testing and advisement with a member of the music faculty. It is recommended that this be done before May if a student is requesting September enrollment as an approved major. Students without adequate precollege background in music and who are not adequately prepared for the theory/musicianship sequence may be required to enroll in Fundamentals of Music as a prerequisite in the subsequent Summer Session or in the student's first semester. \nStudents in the Applied Music track develop their performance skills by four semesters of private lessons (Applied Music), four semesters of music theory and musicianship classes, and participating each semester in at least one major performing ensemble. On-campus ensemble experiences include the RVCC Chorale and the RVCC Jazz Ensemble. Arrangements may be made for participation with the Raritan Valley Symphonic Band, the Central Jersey Symphony Orchestra or with another Department-approved community performing ensemble. Auditions are likely required for all ensembles. \nStudents in the Music Production track develop their musical skills by four semesters of private lessons (Applied Music) and by two semesters of music theory and musicianship classes. On-campus ensemble experiences include the RVCC Chorale and the RVCC Jazz Ensemble. Arrangements may be made for participation with the Raritan Valley Symphonic Band, the Central Jersey Symphony Orchestra or with another Department-approved community performing ensemble. Auditions are likely required for all off-campus ensembles. In addition, courses are required in composition, audio engineering, music notation software and the business of publishing and licensing. \nRegardless of which track is selected, all students who do not have piano as their primary instrument must take two semesters of Keyboard Skills or pass a proficiency examination. Students considering transfer to a four-year institution for a bachelor's degree should consult with an advisor early in their program to determine academic transfer and music audition requirements."},"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://catalog.raritanval.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=15\u0026poid=1985\u0026returnto=1319","ceterms:versionIdentifier":[{"@type":"ceterms:IdentifierValue","ceterms:identifierTypeName":{"en-US":"Catalog Year"},"ceterms:identifierValueCode":"2024-2025 Catalog"}],"ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}}}
