Contemporary Instrumental Music

Contemporary Instrumental Music students build their skills primarily through large ensemble training, including big band jazz and guitar ensemble. Contemporary IM students also have the opportunity to take supplementary modules that develop skills in music theory, ear-training, modern composition, sectionals, solo performance, and small ensemble performance. Examples of supplementary modules are mariachi, jazz masterclass, sectionals, rock band, and electronic music.
