The department offers academic support, rehearsal space, and credit for students interested in starting their own ensembles. Such ensembles have included woodwind quintet, string quartet, jazz combo, clarinet ensembles, Balinese Gender Wayang quartet, and new music just to name a few. These ensembles can be entirely student led and run, tailored to the interests of the students involved. Coaching and credit are available by registering for a semester-long adjunct course and performing on a department recital event.

If you have any questions about how to get a student group sponsored please direct your questions to the music department coordinator in Packard office 115.
