These courses were chosen because they are not required courses, yet they enhance the music major, music minor, and non-music major’s experience and exposure to a variety of chamber music genres, beginning performance building courses, and courses for students who hope to earn a single-subject credential in music after they graduate. These courses are enormously popular, but will be the first to be cut if the department cannot afford to offer electives. Having these elective course offerings helps our students be nimble in the discipline and helps them form life-long commitment to small ensemble music making opportunities and pedagogy.  The members of the student committee would be happy to discuss our current (or future) use of CBF funding if you have any questions. Again, thank you for your support.
