Performance Major

As a performance major, emphasis is put on achieving a high level of proficiency on your principal instrument and experience in a wide range of styles will give you the skills necessary to be an effective member of any ensemble. Students perform in a variety of performance venues ranging in size from intimate jazz clubs and restaurants to large auditoriums and theatres.

Over the years, students have performed to rave reviews in concerts alongside such respected artists as Bill Henderson (Chilliwack), Dee Daniels, Levon Ichkanian, Joelle Rabu, and Shari Ulrich. Each individual will study and experience the evolution of a performance from conception to completion including the business aspects of booking a gig; creating a demo and signing contracts, to music preparation; arranging and rehearsing, and finally to the performance itself where all the aspects of a professional presentation are explored.
