All students who undertake lessons are required to join one or more of the College’s ensembles, as advised by their instrumental music teacher or the Director of Co-curricular Music, in relation to readiness and potential. For most music students, the ‘step up’ to ensemble membership is eagerly sought, and once obtained is something they treasure due to the music challenges presented, the camaraderie of working closely with their peers, and the opportunity for recognition of their skills through a variety of performances. If students are not ready to join an ensemble on their instrument, they will be required to join one of our vocal groups, the foundation of ensembles. Detailed information about ensembles can be found on the College website, Music section, Ensembles. Some options for Voice and Piano students are listed below:
• Join a Choir as a vocalist
• Join Contemporary Band on keyboard or as a vocalist
• Join Percussion Ensemble on a tuned or untuned instrument
• Join Wind Ensemble or Concert Band on Percussion or Tuned Percussion
• Join Stage Band or Jazz Ensemble on Percussion, Piano or Tuned Percussion
• Learn a string or band instrument in conjunction with your piano studies in the view to join one of the above ensembles
• Engage in a formal piano duet/trio program in conduction with your instrumental music lessons (info to come)
• Play keyboard in a development position for one of our junior ensembles I.e. String Ensemble, Concert Band, Youth Strings etc.
Students are welcome at any time to discuss with their teacher or the College’s Music Department staff regarding an interest in joining any of the College’s ensembles.
