Chamber Music- Small ensembles of various sizes and instrumentation provide collaborative music learning. Unlike solo or large ensemble playing, students learn how to listen and respond to each other for timing and balance, and they learn to negotiate their interpretive choices as a group.
This is one of the most important and powerful ways to grow as a musician!
Students enrolled in this chamber music class will be placed in chamber music ensembles (duos, trios, quartets, etc.) with other students at a similar level.
Chamber rehearsals take place on Tuesdays or Thursdays, 5pm-6pm. Students must audition in person or by recording prior to registration here or by emailing academy@paducahsymphony.org·
