Music Program Mission, Goals and Objectives
The primary mission of the music unit at Broward Community College
is to provide a comprehensive program of educational opportunities
in music for our service area.
Our goals in accomplishing this mission show the desire to achieve
true academic and artistic excellence. We support both students
and the community by:
Serving as an entry point for students pursuing associate
degree programs in music.
Preparing music students for transfer to upper-division institutions.
Creating educational opportunities for the enlightenment of
the non-music major.
Training and preparing students for solo and ensemble music
performances.
Serving as a musical center for the residents of Broward County
and south Florida.
Providing enrichment opportunities through community service
and outreach programs.
We seek to accomplish the mission and goals by using the following
strategies and objectives:
Evaluating entering music students' readiness to pursue college-level
music work, both coursework and performance.
Offering music classes, ensembles, and applied lessons that
develop skills of music majors to the junior-year level.
Offering remedial classes and applied lessons for students
whose skill level is below college level.
Offering general music classes and lessons appropriate to
the non-music major.
Providing highly skilled faculty to train students in applied
lessons as well as coursework.
Sharing faculty expertise with the community by sponsoring
and delivering workshops and by serving as consultants and adjudicators.
Providing information to the community as a music resource.
Providing opportunities for community members and non-music
majors to participate in large and small college ensembles.
Providing inexpensive performances by college ensembles and
faculty in college concert halls and community facilities.
Providing college concert halls for rental to community music
groups.
Maintaining a comprehensive collection of sound recordings.
