There will be different groups based on the level of musicianship:
- Introductory Group: New players interested in ensemble playing.
- Music-moderate level. Introduction to world music.
- Intermediate Group: Advanced players – Transcribing music, improvising, and performing pieces to challenge the musical abilities.
“A musical piece is like a theatrical play. Each musician has a role and must stay in character throughout the piece. The star is the singer or soloist. Everyone else
is there to support and enhance the performance through
his or her own performance.” Ivan Hampden, Jr.
Purposes of the class: to perform with a group; to be a “team player;” to heighten listening skills; to be exposed to music from around the world
