The full-time and adjunct faculty includes leading educators, performers, conductors, composers, and scholars who work cooperatively toward student success. Alumni of the PCC music program have successfully pursued careers worldwide in all aspects of the music business and have attended many of the finest institutions of higher education. Complementing the band area, Pasadena City College ensembles are at the forefront of music education among California community colleges. Pasadena City College's over 30 performing ensembles have toured nationally and internationally and have collaborated with local and international arts organizations such as the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Pasadena City College is a world-class institution respected and supported by its community. Thirty percent of our faculty hold doctoral degrees, many of whom are PCC graduates. Many of our support staff are also graduates of PCC and four-year institutions.
