Student Ensemble

Students have the possibility to organize a band, with repertoire and study objectives decided by the band members themselves. Please discuss these subjects with the group before signing up.

The student who signs up will be considered as the group leader. They are responsible for all communications to the group members, the band coach and the ensembles coordinator, and for booking rehearsal rooms and preparing, organizing and leading the rehearsals, the first one not later than before the fall break.

The group can get a set weekly rehearsal time and choose from a selection of teachers. The teacher is not the leader who decides what happens, but more of a coach who gives feedback roughly six to eights times a year. After one semester the progress of the group is reviewed during a performance, and depending on the development, they will be allowed to continue to do the next semester.
