Music Courses

LONESTAR.EDU/UPMUSIC

The mission of the Lone Star College-University Park Music Department is to provide students with all of the opportunities of a university program at a fraction of the price. Our students have extensive performance opportunities in selective, auditioned ensembles and are taught in private lessons and studio classes by some of the most celebrated musicians and teachers in the region. Our coursework is rewarding and challenging, and

all Field of Study courses in the Associate of Arts degree in Music are fully transferable to any public four-year institution in Texas.

While our program is very young (founded in 2017), we have already seen our students go on to receive major scholarships, internships and offers of admission from some of the most prestigious music schools in and out of the state, including University of Houston’s Moores School of Music, University of North Texas, Berklee College of Music, and the New England Conservatory of Music.

We offer courses for the new musician and the highly advanced musician alike, including a music industry course unique to our campus. Whatever your musical and career goals, LSC-University Park has the faculty and opportunities to support you in advancing to the next stage of your education or career.
