CMUS 800 - Oberlin Arts & Sciences Chamber Music

HC CNDP

2 credits
This performance class provides students enrolled in the College with the opportunity to learn chamber works in small ensembles, receive coachings, and perform in public as part of a credit-bearing class. Class meets weekly for a two-hour session in which student groups play for the entire class and are coached by the instructor. Students may audition either as individuals or in pre-formed groups; individuals will be placed in groups at the discretion of the instructor. All instruments will be considered, although placement is contingent on the availability of repertoire and instrumental composition of the group of students auditioning in a given semester. The semester concludes with a public performance in which all groups must perform at least one movement selected from the works they have prepared over the course of the semester.
This course is appropriate for new students.
