Assessment
and Goals:

UMM Instrumental Arranging will provide a practical hands on approach to arranging music for both large and small instrumental ensembles. Students will learn practical instrument ranges, colors, and effective combinations. Assessment will include written examinations, and arranging exercises and performances.

Rationale for
Changes or
Exceptions:

IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THIS CLASS AT UMM SINCE INSTRUMENTAL ARRANGING IS AN ISSUE THAT IS DEALT WITH ON A DAILY BASIS AS A PUBLIC SCHOOL BAND CONDUCTOR. THIS CLASS WILL PREPARE OUR UMM MUSIC MAJORS WITH THE TOOLS TO EFFECTIVELY RESCORE AND ARRANGE MUSIC GEARED TO THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THEIR OWN ENSEMBLES.
