Choir Scarves

  • Orchestral and instrumental ensembles (Bader College does not have any orchestral instruments, so students wanting to play in ensembles are asked to bring their own instruments, or to rent instruments locally while they are here).
  • Master-classes for students who already play an instrument, or sing.
  • Music theatre and drama workshops.
  • Lecture-recitals.
  • Opportunities to be involved with and/or perform with cutting edge music technology.
  • Guitars: Student Services has various guitars that are available on loan.
