Ensembles

Ensemble playing (and singing) is an essential – though often neglected – part of any musical education, and New School ensemble and choir members, under the direction of dedicated and experienced teachers/coaches, enjoy the unique pleasures of group music-making through weekly rehearsals and regular performances of a varied repertoire. We aim not only to make some great music, rehearsed to public performance standard, but to have a lot of fun in doing so! Our ensembles are open to both New School and external music students. (Students concurrently enrolled for private or group tuition at the school receive a 20% discount off ensemble fees.)

Sessions

Taking place once a month on Friday evenings, our Trad Slow Sessions are a great way to experience group music making on a more casual basis.

‘If we were all determined to play the first violin we should never have an ensemble. Therefore, respect every musician in his proper place.’
– Robert Schumann

‘I enjoy being part of an ensemble rather than just a front man. Don’t get me wrong – I enjoy that too, but I get more enjoyment out of really listening to everyone.’
– Damon Albarn
