Violin and Double Bass: Music Education

Orchestra is very fun, since you get to play with non music majors, as well as performance and other music major, at a high level with challenging music that pushes students just the right amount. I enjoy the fact that wind players are also in the orchestra, which really opens up all of the repertoire that we get to perform, and helps us learn about different instruments (for music education  majors). There are also a lot of opportunities to have leadership positions and work your way up to the front of the orchestra.

Jazz Band and Combos are a very great way to meet a lot of people who may share a similar interest. These ensembles are laid out for different levels of musicians, which are designed to guide players into increasing their skill and moving up. Also, these ensembles allow a lot of creative freedom and opportunities to compose and arrange music for different groups.

The Blugold Quartet is a high level group that gets to move through very challenging repertoire and build a vast series of skills. The communication skills that are built in this ensemble affects all aspects of being a musician. This is a fun group that allows four people to dive into challenging music and learn to play and communicate with each other.
