Music Ensembles

Regardless of your intended major, schedule, or ability level, Grand View has an ensemble for you. Ensembles are open to students throughout the university.

Musical Arts Scholarship

A scholarship available to selected new full-time day students who demonstrate talent in drumline, piano, vocal and instrumental music regardless of major. Scholarships range from $500 – $4,000.

The music scholarship is renewable based on participation in both an ensemble and private lessons with continuous good standing in both areas.

All-State Music Scholarship

$1,500 is awarded to full-time day students who have participated in a high school all-state festival for at least one year and demonstrate talent in piano, vocal and instrumental music regardless of major. The All-State Music Scholarship is renewable based on participation in both an ensemble and private lessons with continuous good standing in both areas.

Drumline	Joining Drumline is a great opportunity to get involved in student life at Grand View. GV Drumline brings school spirit to athletic events, and also plays for campus and music events. Students of all experience levels are encouraged to inquire about joining. Scholarships are available for those with experience.
Choir	The Grand View Choir performs for major university events, including Julefest, the annual Grand View Christmas celebration, Honors Convocation, and Baccalaureate, and tours each year during spring break. Membership in the choir is open to students of all majors by audition.
Kantorei	Kantorei is a small vocal ensemble which sings a wide variety music and makes many off-campus appearances. Literature can consist of Christmas carols, madrigals, jazz standards and a host of other styles. Membership is selected by the director from the students in the Grand View Choir.
Music Lessons	All students in ensembles are strongly encouraged to further their individual musicianship by taking private lessons. Lessons on woodwind, brass, percussion, and stringed instruments, piano, and voice are available from knowledgeable and highly skilled instructors.
Private Lessons	Grand View seeks to help all students explore and develop their own musical talents. To that end, private lessons are offered affordably to all students in piano, voice, guitar, and all woodwind, brass, percussion, and stringed instruments. Lessons consist of one half-hour of private instruction each week. Advanced students may take a double lesson with permission from their instructor.
Wind Ensemble	The wind ensemble is comprised of music majors, music minors, and interested non majors. We perform for Family Day and Julefest in the fall, a spring concert in March, along with playing at the Honors Convocation and Commencement.
