A Message from President Pura
At GCC, we take pride in the quality of our programs and the many ways we are working with our students, families and the businesses in our community. We invite you to take a class or a workshop online or on campus. I think you will find what you are looking for and the experience you are hoping for. Learning is not just something you do in a class, learning is a way of living your life. Sincerely,
Robert L. Pura, Ph.D., President

APPLIED MUSIC Individual instruction on a wide variety of western instruments, as well as some non-western instruments. Individual instruction is also available for music technology and computers (i.e. midi/computer notation), but not as a primary instrument for music majors. These are college level, letter-graded courses that require student commitment to study and practice. MUS 130 is a 1 credit course in which students and instructors meet for one-half hour per week. MUS 230 is a 2 credit course in which students and instructors meet for one hour per week. The music department assigns instructors to students prior to or during the first week of each semester. Students intending to take lessons should contact the music program coordinator at (413) 775-1228 prior to or not later than the first week of classes each semester. A studio instructor fee is charged for lessons and is non-refundable after the college deadline. Lesson fees are covered by financial aid like any other course fees. Students interested in music and technology may consider attending periodic music keyboard/computer tutoring sessions in the MAC lab. The music department also offers a variety of workshops and master classes on a regular basis. Questions regarding music faculty and lessons should be addressed to the GCC Music Department Coordinator at (413) 775-1228. Questions regarding registration, payment or refund of fees, or course withdrawal should be addressed to the Registrar’s Office at Student Services, (413) 775-1801.
