Youth & Adult Music Ensembles
Playing music with others is just plain fun!
Begin your study of guitar, fiddle, banjo, or mandolin by experiencing the enjoyment and camaraderie of learning to play in a string ensemble.
Our continued-development ensemble programs guide students through the rudiments of music theory, notation, rhythm, and technique. Beginning with simple melodies, students learn to play songs arranged in multiple parts and perform them together as an ensemble.
As the students progress, the music becomes more adventurous. Classical guitarists can expect to learn solo pieces as well as expanding arrangements for guitar ensemble. Students participating in the Folk & Bluegrass or Fiddle jams slowly graduate from learning the fundamentals and playing arranged music to improvising in full-fledged jam sessions.
