Continuing Education

Music Extension

Continuing Education courses are open to students, community members, and learners of all musical backgrounds and levels of experience. Students may attend Continuing Education courses as a preliminary step toward enrollment in the Extension Diploma program or other Mannes College degree or certificate programs. Working musicians are encouraged to consider Continuing Education as a resource for learning and gaining new skills and insights into their performance craft.

 Continuing Education students may take courses for no credit, or enroll for undergraduate credit.
