COMMERCIAL MUSIC PROGRAMS

There are two degrees and one certificate offered in Commercial Music at Lamar State College - Port Arthur.

A.A.S. Commercial Music: Sound Engineer

Examples of courses included in the degree plan include Audio Engineering I-IV, Midi I, Piano I-II, Songwriting, Music Theory I-II, Acoustics, Studio Hardware. We offer advanced training in industry software such as Pro Tools, Cubase, Finale, and Sonar, as well as many others. In interview is required for admission.

A.A.S. Commercial Music: Performance (Session Musician)
Very few commercial schools and institutions of higher learning offer this track, which prepares gifted rhythm musicians for careers as musicians in the recording studio environment. Guitarists, Bassists, Keyboardists, and Drummers learn all the grooves, from Latin to country and rock, and become fluent in commercial notation systems, while sharpening their improvisational skills. Vocalists learn songs in a variety of genres, and work as both lead and background singers. All of our musicians are part of a live band, with multiple performances a semester in our dedicated Music Hall. An audition is required for admission.
