What performance opportunities are available in the Department of Music?

Other major courses that involve performance are Jazz Theory and Performance (116AM/BM), Conducting (161A/B), Improvisation (164), Baroque Music Performance (171D), composer or genre studies that include performance of the music (180 series), and world music courses that include 11 weeks of performance lab (131-9).
