Contemporary Ensemble 30

This course is an extension of our traditional band and choir programs, and it will focus on collaboration among peers in a modern band/vocal setting. Students in Contemporary Music will be introduced to the art of composition, arranging and improvisation with an emphasis on performing music styles of the last 50 years, which may include pop, rock, R&B, jazz, funk, and other popular music genres. This class is open to students who sing, along with students who have experience playing electric guitar, acoustic guitar, electric bass, piano/keyboard, drums, trumpet, trombone or saxophone. Students interested in audio mixing and running audio equipment are also welcome.
