Ensemble Participation
All undergraduate students in the College of Music are required to audition for and participate in a major ensemble as designated by the College of Music. Each degree program carries specific major ensemble requirements. Be sure to follow requirements for your degree program. See your adviser if you have any questions. Do not make the mistake of seeking advice from other students or friends. Many have received incorrect information from the “grapevine.”
