Ensembles
WCMS has ensembles and bands to fit a wide range of ages, interests, and ability levels. Whether you simply like the idea of playing or singing with fellow musicians, want to practice in a supportive group, or are ready to take your music to the next level, we will help you find a group that fits.
Playing in an ensemble or band helps participants develop important instrumental and voice skills, such as ensemble cueing, group intonation, rhythmic interaction, and leadership and listening skills.
Participation in an ensemble also improves a student's ability to perform in solo recitals or large ensemble settings such as school bands, orchestras, and a cappella groups. No matter what your musical goals, please join us!

Ensembles vary in size between two and eight students. Many ensembles are scheduled based on the availability of the the instructor and participants. Ensembles generally meet during after-school hours, weekday evenings, or Saturdays.
If you're interested in participating, please fill out our Ensemble Inquiry Form. We'll contact you regarding a placement audition (not all ensembles require an audition) and we'll do our best to place you with a group that works well for your interests, playing ability, and schedule.
