Course Description:
A continuation of MUS 140 - Concert Choir provides an opportunity for any student to further their experience as a performer in a large choral ensemble.

Care will be given to stylistic integrity, as well as melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic accuracy. Upon completion of ensemble rehearsals, students should be able to be contributing members of the ensemble’s performance in a major spring production along with other college ensembles. This course helps students build confidence in public presentation and enhance their personal responsibility to a larger group effort, consider the viewpoints of others, and effectively express themselves, all of which will benefit them in the classroom, in life, and in the workforce.
