Music Ensembles

Ensembles provide young musicians with the chance to put their skills into action and perform regularly. The individual player will further develop his or her listening, rhythmic and intonation skills while having fun performing with fellow students. The String Quartet and Saxophone Ensemble require an informal audition for placement. Please call our music program coordinator Melanie Burner to arrange an audition or for more information at 604.664.1636 ext #38.
