Music Department


Since 1968, the Kaskaskia College Music Department has had a thriving performance program encompassing ensembles such as concert band, concert choir, chamber singers, madrigal singers, jazz choir, student jazz bands & jazz ensembles, pep band, percussion ensemble, drumlines, and several big band jazz bands. Other performance opportunities also exist within the department.

The music department offers its students a strong background in music theory, ear training, piano, composition, and performance. With smaller class sizes and a commitment to quality, the Kaskaskia College Music Department is an excellent way to begin your musical journey.

Kaskaskia College offers an educational environment that is demanding yet supportive. We are here to help students interested in becoming public school teachers, professional performers, conductors, composers, recording studio technicians, music therapists, and private music teachers by providing the first steps toward those careers. We are also here to help those who would like an opportunity to perform with a challenging ensemble.

We hope you will review the information on this site and consider becoming a Kaskaskia College Music Department student. We are confident you will find many challenging and exciting opportunities if you decide to attend.
