Popular Music Ensemble

Nicole Yarling, Director

The Popular Music Ensemble, also started in 1996, seeks to assist the individual student to become a music contractor whether as a recording artist, group member, composer and/or producer.  Students are responsible for preparing or creating music arrangements and selecting musicians for their presentations.  Each student must demonstrate the ability to understand the business of music, including copyright, publishing and contracts.  The culminating activity for each semester is a live performance of varied music in one of the area’s clubs.
