Beginners Ensemble

This ensemble has been created specifically for those children who are yet to take up a musical instrument and want to begin that journey. This ensemble will:

• Introduce the children to a wide rang of instruments with hands on live tryouts.
• Encouraging the children to think about which instrument(s) they are attracted to with a view to taking one up.
• Teach the basics of reading music
• Help the children gain experience of playing together in a group

The Junior Concert Band is for any young musician who has been playing their instrument for a short while, has learnt a few notes and basic technique but would like their first opportunity to to play in a group.

Playing with others is a fantastic way to learn essential ensemble skills, such as timing, playing in tune, dynamics (balance of volume) and working together to make a good quality sound.
