The string ensemble is an enhancement class available for all string instrument students who want to join our string ensemble. These classes are open to ASOM students and outside students who are interested in playing and performing in a group. Outside students must audition to be placed into a suitable string ensemble. Students playing in a group setting develop greater musical skills in note reading, sight reading and learning various melodies and harmonies within the pieces. The string ensemble class helps to motivate children to practice and also stresses the importance of listening, not just to your own playing, but to those around you.

Junior Strings Ensemble – This 45 minute group class meeting once a week is designed to introduce the young beginner to ensemble playing. Generally, students are under the age of 9 years old.

Intermediate Strings Ensemble – This 60 minute group class meeting once a week is specifically for students who have a bit of experience playing in an ensemble setting. Students will be building on prior group playing experience and stage presence.
