"LCC's vocal program gave me the opportunity to build up from a very limited musical
background; if I had been at another institution, I am not sure I would have been
granted the grace and support to learn from an introductory level at another higher
learning institution. I credit my going on to pursue a performance degree to LCC's
music faculty instilling in me a confidence in my musicianship and potential."
- Andrew Gomes
"Attending LCC was one of the best decisions I ever made! All of the professors are
wonderful and give a very personalized experience. The vocal program especially enabled
me to go on and earn my Bachelor of Music at a 4-year university."
- Rosie Graff
“My time in the LCC Music Program was amazing! Incredible faculty, impressive facilities
and lifelong friends I made in the multiple ensembles. LCC provided me with a musical
and educational background that will serve me well the rest of my life!”
