Ensembles
Ensemble:
A group of musicians who play together.
Ensembles in Grants Pass
Playing in ensemble gives students a place to collaborate with other young musicians—creating a community that works together to make music none of them could create alone. As they learn and play with others, they gain confidence and skills that private lessons simply can't teach.
Beginner Guitar Ensemble
(beginners ages 9-13)
Your child will experience the fun of learning guitar in a small group of three or four students, allowing for a lot of individual help help from the teacher and a longer lesson time than a private lesson. It is also more economical.
Students build their chord, strumming, and reading skills while working on fun arrangements of familiar songs. It's a supportive, low-pressure first ensemble that builds confidence and makes new friends through music.

String Quartet
(ages 10+ who can sight read in 1st position):
Is your child ready to move beyond playing their instrument alone?
In a Quartet string players step into chamber music—the small-ensemble tradition at the heart of string playing. Each week your child will develop the skills of quartet playing that go beyond private lessons.
They will master the amazing listening skills required in ensemble playing - holding their own line while three others play different parts and still listening to one another so they can produce a unified sound without a conductor.
