Ensembles are available to students in all majors by audition. You can just sign up but it is preferable that you contact the instructor to receive more information about the opportunities available to you within the CSS Music Department.

Ensemble courses are offered for 1 credit. You may register for 0 credit if necessary. There is no limit on the number of times you may take an ensemble course. Grades are based on attendance and preparation. Ensembles perform at least once each semester.
