Description
The reward that comes from playing beautiful music with others is unique. If you enjoy playing with others in an orchestra and would like to play in a smaller group, or if you love to play in quartets, trios (string and piano) and the like, this is your chance to enter the fun and sometimes challenging world of chamber music. Covering music from the Baroque to the present, this course offers full-group and small-group rehearsals and coaching, as well as mini-lessons in music theory and history. String players are the core of the course. Please indicate your instrument on your registration. Students and amateur musicians of all ages are welcome. Generally, students should be ready to work in a small ensemble setting when they have completed Suzuki book 4 or the equivalent. Students will be matched to a group based on the three parameters of approximate age, technical proficiency, and social compatibility. As all three are important for an optimal chamber experience, a suitable group may not be available immediately.
