Chamber music ensembles are small performing ensembles of 2-6 instrumentalists, with one person per part. You can enroll for one or two credit hours (at the discretion of the instructor). Audition is required for placement in ensembles in your first term in the class. You are encouraged but not required to suggest repertoire and instrumentation for your ensemble. You should initially register for section 001 for one group assignment; those interested in two ensembles will be enrolled for section 002 after the audition process has been completed. Scheduling is flexible depending on the commonalities of all the schedules involved (yours, your teammates', the instructor's, and the rehearsal spaces'). Responsibilities include one weekly coaching, one rehearsal, and individual practicing for each group; attendance, punctuality, and commitment are mandatory. The mid-term performance class and the end-of-the-year performance are required for all ensembles. Course may be used to fulfill the RC Arts Practicum Requirement. Students are advised to sign up early in order to facilitate a timely audition.
