Overview

Program Details

The Commercial Music at California State University Los Angeles degree includes private lessons with experienced pros in the field as well as extensive coursework, live performance experience, and studio recording.

Music making is collaborative. Thus, in addition to in-depth training in each area, there is a strong emphasis in our degree program on cross-training. We expect our composers to be performers and to understand recording and mixing; our performers take introductory courses in film scoring, songwriting, recording, mixing, and using DAWs; and our students interested in music technology to perform and learn scoring and songwriting basics.
