Music

HOWL
In HOWL – an eclectic chorus – students rehearse, discuss, and perform choral repertoires of various genres including classical masterworks, indigenous world music, and popular styles. The chorus performs a cappella as well as with piano and assorted instrumental accompaniment. Students receive instruction in healthy vocal technique and desirable ensemble attributes: intonation, blend, balance, appropriate tone quality, and critical listening. This ensemble performs at different venues on and off campus.
