Courses for Non-Majors

Ensemble Opportunities for Non-Majors

The Glenn Korff School of Music at UNL enthusiastically invites all students, regardless of academic major, to participate in one or more of our outstanding ensembles. Students do not have to be a music major to participate in any of the UNL music ensembles. There are groups of different sizes, experience levels, time commitment and musical repertoires from which to choose. Some of the ensembles (Campus Band, Campus Orchestra, All-Collegiate Choir, University Chorale and Varsity Men's Chorus) do not require auditions. 

• Most required auditions take place during the first week of classes in August for fall semester, and late November/early December for spring semester.
• The audition process for the Cornhusker Marching Band begins in the spring for the following fall. Anyone interested in marching band participation should contact the Band Office at (402) 472-2505.

Follow this link to learn about each of the ensembles and explore audition dates and materials.
