Ensembles
Whether you play an instrument or prefer vocal performance, the music department offers many opportunities for all students to participate in large or small ensembles. You do not need to be a music major or minor to be in the ensembles. In fact, the majority of the students playing in the ensembles are not music majors or minors.
Academic credit is offered and there are no additional fees charged. There are regularly scheduled rehearsal times each week, and most groups perform two to three times each semester. Repertoire ranges from classical to jazz to Broadway. You can participate in music ensembles for 0 or 1 credits.
Please contact ensemble directors for more information, look for flyers posted in Tyler Hall at beginning of semester, OR simply go to the first scheduled class of the semester!
