GUITAR ENSEMBLE
MU 139 Guitar Ensemble (1 Credit)
The Guitar Ensemble rehearses once a week and plays music arranged for multiple acoustic guitars and arranged in such a way as to allow the student  to develop rhythm, timing and general technique skills.  The music may include single notes, chords and a section for improvisation.  Students are given musical parts to practice outside of class and a  portion of the class is devoted to sight reading.  The music, selected and arranged by the instructor, includes a variety of musical styles with the focus being on Jazz music.  By performing in a group situation, the student learns the importance of blending with other instruments to achieve a group sound.  The Guitar Ensemble performs throughout the year for both on- and off-campus concerts and events. 

Students can register for one credit, or for those over the full-time limit, it is possible to register for 0 credit.
Prerequisite:  permission.
