Classes

The Pierce College Music program is well-equipped to prepare you for a career or further education in music. Our excellent faculty and curriculum are among the best in the region.

Courses are offered in music theory, audio production, music appreciation, class piano, class guitar, private instruction, and vocal and instrumental performance groups both large and small.

At Pierce, the faculty-student ratio is small. As a result, you can work closely with instructors who show personal concern for your academic and musical progress. Students succeed because faculty are there to help motivate and deal with unanswered questions.

We recommend that you review the catalog information and consult with a Music program advisor.

Scholarships

Scholarship auditions are held as needed throughout the year. Scholarship awards vary depending on the student's departmental involvement and playing ability. Primarily, these scholarships are talent based and require an audition. To arrange for a scholarship audition, or to seek further details, contact Dr. Knudtsen at 253-964-6572 or by email at jknudtse@pierce.ctc.edu.

There are also work-study positions as well as a host of other need-based scholarships that are available on a regular basis through the Office of Financial Aid.
