Making music with others is part of Team Music. If you learn an instrument you should be in an ensemble. We do expect you to be at rehearsals every week. If you have a regular clash, you speak to the music office team and come every two weeks for a short period of time.

Early Morning Practice (EMP) is just that, time to practice before the school day starts. Available in the Simon Balle Music Centre.
All musicians can be using this to ensure they progress and get better, consistently. We are all busy and this is a superb way to put in practice without it taking up too much of the day. Just getting up earlier!
Advanced musicians should be using this as their routine. Technical work, scales, stamina, maturity. For those taking Grade 8 or a diploma, this is expected.
