Popular Music Ensemble

Nicole Yarling, Director

The goal of the Popular Music Ensemble is to assist the individual student in becoming a music contractor with his/her musical skills, whether as a recording artist, performer, member of a musical group, etc. The primary emphasis is on improving the individual’s strength as a member of a small ensemble and as a soloist. Each student is responsible for preparing musical arrangements and selecting musicians for their presentations and each student must demonstrate the ability to understand the business of music. The culminating activity for each semester is a live production of varied music.
