		Some of the following music courses are integrated with college credit classes and have a limited number of seats for the general public to enroll as a Continuing Education student. The Music courses that are integrated with college offer the content, rigor, and workshop experience that is standard within a college credit classroom. Students must have a minimum level of proficiency on their instrument in order to participate in the course. All courses require that students use their Austin Community College email address and regularly access the Blackboard site for instruction.
For questions regarding the music courses, please contact Terra Garcia at terra.garcia@austincc.edu.
For classes taught online, Class log-in information can be found in Blackboard a few days prior to the class start date. 
An active ACC Email and eID are required to log in to Blackboard. All students taking music classes must log into Blackboard, even if they are taking classes face-to-face.
