The course also explores various skills for the gigging musician, including following charts, creating parts and arrangements, incorporating improvised elements, following a band-leader and leading an ensemble. Students must be proficient in their instrument and be able to read both charts (chord symbols) and traditional notation in order to participate in the class.
