| |  | | JAZZ ENSEMBLE MU 138 Jazz Ensemble (1 Credit)
The Jazz Ensemble rehearses once a week and plays music designed to teach jazz ensemble concepts (phrasing, articulation, swing feel) as well as give improvised solo space for all members. Students are given musical parts to practice outside of class and a portion of the class is devoted to sight reading. The music, selected by the instructor, includes a variety of Jazz styles.
By performing in a group situation, the student learns the importance of blending with other instruments to achieve a group sound. The Jazz 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.
