Means of accomplishing learning outcomes:

The instructor will conduct an ensemble providing an outlet and learning experience for students to study and perform via a combination of rehearsal, out-of-class practice, and performance opportunities. Music will be assigned and concepts will be explained in class. The instructor will monitor individual progress, and group experiences will be a feature of each class period. The instructor will hold weekly office hours to address further questions and student needs outside of class time. The final grade will be based on class participation and skills performance.

Students are expected to:

• Arrive to class on time
• Participate in rehearsal and be focused in class
• Practice outside of class time
• Participate in group performances
