The LAVC Applied Music Program is designed for students seeking to transfer to four-year institutions to complete a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Music degree. Applied Music students receive private lessons to prepare them for auditions and performances. Admission into the program requires a completed application that includes a live audition. Students accepted into the program must be a full-time music major for two years, enroll in required music courses, and fulfill all the expectations required of an LAVC Applied Music student.
