There are some CC’s with very strong vocal music and music production programs. For example, West Valley College in Saratoga is terrific for vocalists, West Valley College Receives National Association of Schools of Music Accreditation | West Valley College , and also has music production Recording Arts and Music Production | West Valley College (WVC also has a gorgeous campus that’s nicer than a lot of residential colleges.) There is also a Music Technology program at Foothill College in Los Altos Music Technology Students get great mentoring in these programs and transfer successfully to strong 4-year schools. Of course, it depends whether you live near a CC with strength in these areas, or are willing to find housing near a carefully-chosen CC… because a lot of them have nothing to offer in these areas, and grinding through GE’s without also having strong arts programs is not going to be a win.
