String Ensemble

Catalog description

Open to all students upon consultation with the instructor. This ensemble explores the multi-century repertoire for bowed stringed instruments, occasionally adding piano, guitar, percussion and woodwinds. For beginners or music students wanting to expand their skills, this course offers basic instruction on violin, viola, cello, and string bass with an emphasis on skills needed to perform in a musical group. Enhancement courses, such as MUS 109, may be repeated for credit, with a maximum of 12 credits earned toward a bachelor degree or six credits toward an associate degree.
