MUSC 1378 College Band
College Band is a performance-oriented course designed to study and rehearse/perform standard concert band literature encompassing periods of music history from the Renaissance through Contemporary. Students develop skills in sight reading, music theory, and instrumental technique within the ensemble setting. Band members evaluate music performed using recordings (video and audio) of concerts. In addition members evaluate recorded examples of literature the band is currently rehearsing. Each musical work is performed with consideration to its cultural/historical context. This course may be repeated for a maximum of four credits applicable toward graduation. (.5 lect. ,1 lab) ARTS
