Ensembles
At WCMS discover the many opportunities and pleasures of meeting other musicians
and playing in a group!
We offer ensembles and bands for kids, teens and adults in classical music, jazz,
and rock/modern music. Ensemble groups—coached by a member of our talented WCMS
faculty--meet weekly. You do not need to be a WCMS student to join an ensemble.
Everyone is welcome to participate!
Some groups require a placement audition (so
we can match you up with like minded
musicians!) and others just need a discussion with the ensemble coach.
Playing an instrument or singing in an ensemble enhances musical understanding and
improves a student’s
ability to perform in solo recitals or large ensemble settings
such as school bands, orchestras, and a cappella groups. Participants
develop important
instrumental and voice skills, such as:
- Ensemble cueing
- Group intonation
- Rhythmic interaction
- Leadership and listening skills
WCMS offers a wide variety of ensemble opportunities for a broad range of levels
and ages.
