Catalog

The Performance Genre Ensemble course is an advanced-intermediate level performance class for instrumentalists, composers and/or vocalists. Genre ensembles engage in the history, performance and composition of specific styles and threads of contemporary and popular music. 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.
