General interest classes
Whether you are interested in majoring in music or just like music and want to learn more, the PCC Sylvania and Rock Creek campuses offer many classes that are open to both experienced and new musicians. Some classes have prerequisites, and others require no previous music or college experience. Some classes are offered on campus, and some are offered online. Many classes are transferable.
