Performance Ensemble: Survey

Catalog description

The Performance Survey Ensemble course is an intermediate-level performance class for instrumentalists and/or vocalists. Survey Ensembles investigate characteristic elements of a variety of classic and contemporary genres, through a series of genre-specific modules. Ensembles are an integral component of the music program, focusing on musicianship as it applies to technical ability, music literacy, theory, history, and aural skills. Students regularly apply ensemble awareness and effective rehearsal and performance techniques, building confidence in their own abilities and in their ability to function as an effective team.
