Hesitating?
Never been in an ensemble? Not a music major?...music major who has never played Latin Music? don't speak Spanish or Portuguese? That's all okay! As long as you are an intermediate to advanced level musician, Dr. Sanchez will fill in the rest for you--he directed the Latin American Popular Music Ensemble at Indiana University for nearly a decade, and he's excited to bring that experience to students at Illinois.
