Music Department

The SMC Music Department offers classes in Music Appreciation and Elements of Music (an introduction to music theory).

Also available are choral and instrumental ensembles: SMC Singers, which is open to any students as long as the student can match pitch, yet no previous experience is necessary; Troubadours, which is an auditioned choral ensemble as this smaller group travels around the region offering concerts and worship music; Instrumental ensemble, which is a small group of instrumentalists who gather once a week to rehearse. Private lessons in piano and voice are also offered.

At the end of each semester all groups perform in the Concert, Fine Arts Night, or recital. The performances are the final exam for any performance class.
