MUS 1303 - Music Ensemble

This course provides students with the opportunity to develop their musical, technical, and collaborative skills through participation in a performing ensemble. Students will rehearse and perform a variety of repertoire drawn from diverse musical styles, including classical, popular, jazz, and world traditions. Emphasis is placed on ensemble performance techniques such as balance, blend, rhythm, intonation, and interpretation. Through regular rehearsals and public performances throughout the semester (including a concert at the end of the semester), students will gain practical experience in musicianship, stage presence, and teamwork. Lecture 3 hours per week.
