The Music program at Meramec offers courses and ensembles for all students. Classes are available for CORE42 general education credit, and also for the Associate in Arts degree with a concentration in music. This prepares a student to transfer into a 4-year Bachelor of Music program.

Music at Meramec's award-winning ensembles include a concert choir, chamber singers, orchestra and symphonic band -- available for CORE42 general education credit -- and jazz combos. Our ensembles perform annually with guest artists as part of the acclaimed Residency Concerts.
