Ensemble participation
Students
extend their knowledge of music repertoire, style, rehearsal
and performance techniques through continuous ensemble
participation. All music majors are expected to participate
in ensembles throughout their undergraduate program at
Bowling Green State University. Ensemble choices should
be appropriate to the student's major and principal performance
medium. Some ensembles require a placement audition; contact
the appropriate ensemble office for further information.
Students should consult their department chair with questions.
