Music

 Associate of Arts: Music

If you are passionate about music, then we invite you to explore the Brazosport College Music Department.

You may be a true music lover who is eager to be skilled in music and to understand and appreciate its value in today’s society. If so, then why not enroll in one of our many vocal and instrumentation classes.

For aspiring professional musicians who plan to continue studying at a university, we encourage you to enter our two-year music program. Here, you will take freshman and sophomore level music courses that will transfer to a four-year college or university. Our music students have successfully transferred to major universities across Texas. They also teach and perform throughout the United States. 

Both music majors and non-music majors experience live performance by participating in music ensembles, private instruction, and a variety of public performances. We also offer workshops, clinics and special events.

Scholarships

Scholarships are available to full-time students who participate in the various performing groups. These scholarships, in most cases, cover all tuition and fees.

Performance Opportunities

Every musician needs to perform, so we offer a range of ensembles, choirs, and bands. We are proud to say that our performing groups have earned consistent statewide and national recognition. These groups have an active performance schedule at the Clarion Performance Hall and a variety of other venues.

  • Coasters

  • Woodwind Ensembles
  • Grand/Civic Chorus
  • Chamber Choir
  • Jazz Band
  • Jazz Singers

The Clarion

One of the exciting aspects about studying music at Brazosport College is the Clarion. The Clarion is a magnificent 600-seat performance hall designed to meet the highest acoustical standards for today’s live music performances. You’ll also have access to first-class rehearsal halls for vocal and instrumental music, individual practice rooms and classrooms.

There are so many great opportunities for students at the Clarion. You’ll experience special performances, workshops, and clinics with world class performing artists; jazz extravaganzas; choir competitions; and so much more.

World class performing artists

The Clarion opens the door to world renowned musical artists who are scheduled to perform throughout the year. As you spend time in the presence of great musicians, you will find yourself challenged to take your music to a higher level.  

Here are some of our recent guests: singer-songwriter Lyle Lovett, world-famous Boston Brass, jazz legend Phil Woods, classic musicians Mercury Baroque, and “American Pie” legend Don McLean.

Jazz extravaganzas

Each November, Brazosport College produces a power-packed jazz extravaganza. We bring together the best jazz instrumentalists from southern Brazoria County for an unforgettable evening of live entertainment.

Choir competition

UIL choir competitions are held annually at the Clarion.
