Performing Arts and Industries
Music
The music department has guided its students to top universities in our state and around the nation, success stories underscored by our articulation agreements with Barry University and the prestigious Berklee School of Music. The articulation agreements allow Associate in Arts pathway students to continue their educations at prestigious four-year institutions .
In addition to providing private instruction on all instruments, the department is home to a variety of associate degree options and performance ensembles that foster the development of creativity, proficiency, and perspective. Many credits earned toward an associate in arts degree at the College may transfer to four-year institutions within Florida's State University System.
You can play a part in transforming the lives of our talented music students through scholarships and academic program initiatives. Your contribution ensures that PAI continues to be a vital source in enriching the lives of students and the community through the performing arts.
