Music

Students majoring in Music at MDCC are pursuing degrees in Music Education or Music Performance on the Moorhead Campus. Music majors fall under three categories: Instrumental (woodwinds, brass, percussion, guitar), Piano, or Voice. ALL music majors are required to take Applied Lessons, Recital, Music Theory 1 & 2, and Piano courses offered by our faculty. Each music major is also required to participate in at least one music ensemble on campus each semester. Our music ensembles include: The Spirit of the Delta Band, MDCC Singers, The Ambassador Band, African Drum & Dance Ensemble, and many more!

Several scholarship opportunities are available for students who are gifted in the performing arts. Students may audition for the following groups: The Spirit of the Delta Band, the MDCC Singers, and the Ambassador Band. Auditions for each group are held during the spring semester.
