Greetings Castleton Community —
Did you know that anyone can register for a music ensemble at Castleton University? You can register for either one or zero credit. Registering for zero credit allows your current course load to not be overloaded for the semester.
We have several instrumental and vocal ensembles!
Questions about participating or want help registering? Please reach out to us at music@castleton.edu or register online/self service.
Ensembles and lessons are open to ALL STUDENTS and faculty and staff.
Email us for information at music@castleton.edu or register online.
Ensembles and lessons are open to all students, regardless of major.
They are a great way to meet people from across campus, to explore
and develop your musical creativity and skills, and to have fun.
Join us!
