CHAMBER ENSEMBLES

Participants learn valuable skills that teach cooperation, listening skills, and responsibility.  Each ensemble is a "team" working together to produce a great piece of music!  Students will be grouped according to advancement, and must be independant readers.  Ensembles will be offered for Beginning String Ensemble (violin, viola, cello, no piano), and an Intermediate/Advanced String Ensemble (violin, viola, cello, and piano with consultation from Linda Tajima).  Students will participate in a Special Performance/Recital on Friday evening, August 27th at 7:00pm.
