String Ensemble

String Ensemble is a course for intermediate to advanced-level string players (violin, viola, cello, bass). The focus is mainly on playing classical chamber music and learning the skills to be a good ensemble player. The repertoire chosen will address the skill level of the group as a whole to develop a cohesive group sound and to produce an accomplished End of Trimester presentation. We will explore and learn chamber music skills such as verbal and non-verbal communication, ensemble techniques, musical expression, sight reading, and performance skills.
