MUSC 1147 — Popular Music Ensemble
Popular music in America is a multibillion-dollar industry and embedded as a uniquely American component of our national identity. The Popular Music Ensemble will prepare students to perform songs from sub-genres across the spectrum. Students will examine the historical context of major musical styles and closely study sub-genres to develop style-specific performance practices on each instrument throughout the ensemble. The ensemble emphasizes collaborative musicianship, rehearsal leadership, and the production of elements of a live ensemble experience. May be repeated up to 4 times for credit.
