“Playing in an ensemble gives the students a chance to experience music as a social activity as well as working as an individual. It builds self-esteem and develops the capacity to work cooperatively with others. When we tour it also gives the students diverse experiences and broadens their outlook. In the past we have had parents tell us that the tour was a life-changing experience for their child.”
