The student group (comprised of individual students or a group of students already established as a band) will experience and successfully meet the challenges presented by the faculty or pursued by the students for musical advancement. Possible areas to explore include collaboration of ideas, arrangements of musical songs or sections, increased musical vocabulary and use thereof with well-balanced improvised performance, and development of solo work in a group setting. Students also have the option to explore original work as a group and to workshop the work's elements including time, tempo, meter, rhythmic feel, rhythmic pulse, energy level, tonality, dynamics, comping, instrumentation, and player mode.
