    What is an Associate of Arts in Music? Students who follow this path will often receive direct instruction in music theory and practice. Individuals can focus on a particular instrument, such as piano or guitar, or find a program that applies a broader approach to the study of music. Class instruction may include music history, musical genres such as classical or jazz, music production, sound engineering, audio recording, and digital editing. These programs can be highly specialized depending on student interests and school of choice. A combination of both lectures and hands-on instruction should be expected from most programs.

    Students will typically receive a wide array of musical knowledge. Building upon an existing desire for proficiency of a particular instrument or production of music, students learn the art of creative expression through music and the importance of the arts in general on society as a whole.
