Single Instrument Ensembles

If you are having individual lessons in either clarinet, guitar, flute or recorder we recommend you also enrol in the single instrument ensemble to increase your playing ability in a group context and meet other music students.

There are also more opportunities to perform publicly as part of an ensemble at one of our Performance Days or scheduled events.

TEACHERS

Mel Wishart

Small group lessons provide a motivating environment to learn music. They encourage teamwork, communication skills, and offer an authentic and empowering environment that can boost confidence and reduce stage fright.

Students will learn to read music at a steady pace but are also encouraged to explore improvisation, as well as taking part in small ensembles.

Lessons are tailor made to explore student’s individual interests, whilst progressively developing their skillset through an established curriculum with each other. “Classical to Whimsical” is Mel’s motto.
