06.01.02 Ensemble Participation

All graduate students are encouraged to participate in the school’s large vocal and instrumental ensembles. Additional ensemble participation requirements are noted in the degree requirements for each major, where applicable.

No more than four credits earned for ensemble and/or chamber music courses may be included in the program of study for any student in the MM or DMA degree programs, except by special permission from the Graduate Professional Committee. Students who wish to participate in large ensembles, but do not wish to receive academic credit or pay tuition for the course in a given semester may do so by registering for one of the following options:

  • ENS 421 Graduate Vocal Ensembles (0 credits)
  • ENS 401 Graduate Instrumental Ensembles (0 credits)

Any ensemble may be recast as ENS 401 or ENS 421 for zero credit through the Registrar’s Office with permission of the instructor and the program advisor.
