Opportunities for Ensemble Playing
Pupils who learn a musical instrument or
take singing lessons and who attain an appropriate standard will usually
be expected to participate in at least one musical ensemble, in much
the same way that a pupil who shows particular sporting talent may be
picked for a school team. Playing or singing in an ensemble can greatly
improve sight-reading skills, rhythm, and independent playing without
the reliance on demonstration from a teacher. The various ensembles play
at events throughout the year. Please visit the Choirs and Ensembles
page for more details.
