    Description
    Students should have at least a high school level performance experience in the course medium. A course designed to rehearse and perform standard band reper- toire, chosen by the instructor and changing every semester. His- torical and sociological context of the music being studied as well as correct performance of notes and rhythms will be explained in each rehearsal. Each semester, the Band prepares music for public performance.Studentstakepartinweeklyrehearsalsinwhichthey learn how their own parts relate to other harmonies and rhythms occurring simultaneously. The instructor paces each rehearsal such that the performance at the end of the semester is of as high an artistic and technical standard as possible. This course may be taken by all members of theAVC community who wish to improve their instrumental technique and musicianship through participa- tion. (C-ID: MUS 180)
