Music

The LBCC Music program's mission is to develop well-rounded student artists, contribute to the cultural enrichment of our general student population, and engage our community through outreach and performance. You’ll develop the common knowledge that all musicians use to speak about and perform music as a professional, grow in your art toward the musician you wish to become, and gain the knowledge needed to engage the community around you in music.

Linn-Benton Community College is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music.

Musician Health and Safety

We care about your health and safety as you practice and perform. Performing too much or with improper technique can be detrimental to your progress and could have long-term consequences that could impact your career. To help offset these issues, we ask that you please listen to your instructor about technique and form. We also are providing you with these links from the National Association of Schools of Music that help detail what to watch for and how to perform safely and effectively.
