Junior Ensemble Course

The Junior Ensemble Course aims to work on the ensemble playing of the students as they will start to play more advanced ensemble pieces that requires good chemistry between each other.

Students will also learn new subjects such as transposition and improvisation. These musicianship skills are vital in being a flexible musician. From there, they begin their composition journey that explores their own musical style and musical language while also exploring different genres of music that will assist them in their improvisation and composition.
