We are training students to transfer to four year universities as well as to take part in the growing entertainment field in California. The Music Department has demanding and rewarding classes in applied music, music theory, ear training, electronic music, guitar, piano, voice, world music, classical music, popular music, and jazz that provide non-music and music majors the opportunity to learn about and create music. Since 1995 we have awarded $30,000+ in scholarships to music majors transferring to 4-year institutions. If you care about music and want a superior music education, San Diego Mesa College is a great choice.
