<p>I think you can get credit for any of the MIT music ensembles for which an audition is required – 6 credits per semester (i.e. half the credits of the average academic class). Here is the link to the class description for the Chamber Music Society; just scroll down until you get to 21.445.</p>

<p>Note: If you are accepted into the ensemble, you’re not automatically registered to get credit for it (since some students will participate in groups on a non-credit basis). You still have to officially add the class to your schedule; you’ll find out how to do that during orientation. Also note: first-year students have some limits as to how many credits they take – so if you are taking a Freshman Advising Seminar, for instance (which gives 6 units of credit), as well as the typical 4 academic classes – you still can participate in music ensembles – but probably not for credit.</p>
<p>I think the music ensembles can give HASS elective credit, and might form part of a HASS concentration – but I don’t believe they’re identified as HASS-D classes, so they don’t fulfill that particular part of the HASS requirement.</p>
