The Collegium ensembles are open to all members of the student body by audition and participation is required ensemble for graduate majors in musicology and undergraduates enrolled in the history and music literature program. |
Private instruction is offered in many instruments: Baroque violin (Cynthia Roberts); Baroque oboe and recorder (Sarah Funkhouser); Baroque bassoon (Kevin Hall); Baroque flute (Lee Lattimore); Baroque trumpet (Keith Johnson); natural horn (William Scharnberg); harpsichord (Lenora McCroskey); and lute (Lyle Nordstrom).
