MUE 421.1 Symphonic Winds Ensemble

Symphonic Winds is a performing organization open to all students by audition. The band performs music in a variety of styles with emphasis on the performance of classic symphonic works. The band also broadens the performing experience with the occasional addition of string and rhythm sections allowing the student to experience a studio orchestra setting for major music department-wide productions, including accompaniment of contemporary Christian artists. As a music education experience, students become acquainted with rehearsal and performance techniques for clear, tangible applications for future instrumental music leadership. Credit, one hour.
