Jazz and Pop Combos are forums for students to receive coaching in the performance of standards and/or original music, directed by Peter Hennig. Students also receive feedback on improvisation development, group interactivity, and stage presence.
The combos present two concerts each year.
Registration
Registration for ensembles is taken care of by the directors of the ensembles during the first week of classes. Be aware there is some lag time between when students turn in registration information to the director and when the class appears on records.
Course Credits
- 1 credit per semester, but only after two consecutive semesters of enrollment.
- Study abroad does not count as an interruption.
- Credits for ensembles do not count towards the College’s 18-credit limit.
- Ensemble credits count towards the Fine Arts requirement, but only if the student has registered for four semesters of the same ensemble.
