Subject:

Music

Description:

The SRU Jazz Lab Band is a rehearsal ensemble that performs one concert per academic semester. The group does require an audition which takes place in the first week of the Fall semester. If openings occur in the Spring semester, the director will hold an audition for the open seats only. The ensemble rehearses big band literature from every stylistic period in jazz history. The focus of the course is on developing sight-reading, jazz performance practice and techniques, stylistic interpretation, foundational ensemble techniques, jazz band rehearsal techniques, and exposure to the literature, history, and composers of jazz music. This is open to all students regardless of major or area of emphasis. One to two credits for every semester of satisfactory participation is granted for this music performance group. The course may be repeated up to 10 times. Additional repeats are possible with a waiver from the department chairperson. The ensemble is also available without credit.
