Jazz Studies Track
The Jazz Studies program at North Central College is fully staffed with an adjunct faculty of world-renowned professional jazz artists, whose combined credits read like a veritable “Who’s Who” of jazz. The program affords students the opportunity to study firsthand with these highly visible professional artists, all of whom are currently active within the art form as well as being experienced jazz educators.
In addition to intensive one-on-one instruction, students also pursue studies in jazz harmony, jazz history and jazz improvisation. Ensemble and performance opportunities include Jazz Combos, Vocal Jazz Ensemble and Big Band, all of which participate in numerous jazz events throughout the year, both on and off campus. The College’s close proximity to one of the world’s great centers of jazz enables students to observe and participate in the Chicago area’s active music scene.
Three terms of applied classical music
Liberal Arts Track
The liberal arts track in Music is for the student who wishes to major in music but does not want to pursue a teaching career or a performance career in jazz. Students in the liberal arts track take the same academic core of theory/aural skills, music literature/history and private study/ensembles as other music majors, but add to their degree program in other ways which meet their unique career goals and interests.
An individual program of study can be designed in consultation with the department chair or departmental advisor.
