Music Program
The Music Department maintains a place at Gavilan College as a subject of broad and passionate interest to performers, composers and theorists. At Gavilan College all these form a community dedicated to furthering a knowledge and love of music. The music department offers a wide range of courses for all students. While many of our students have gone on to have professional careers in music, others have used their study as an enriching foundation for other pursuits.
