Our Chamber Ensembles program provides a structured coaching, rehearsal and performance experience that facilitates high-level chamber music collaboration among students. Participants learn how to be independent musicians while working with their peers to foster cooperation and teamwork. The experience is pedagogically sequenced to fit the playing levels of all participants and students are grouped by playing level and age. Omaha Conservatory Chamber Ensembles will have the opportunity to work with guest chamber music clinicians. There is a class recital each semester, and additional performance opportunities may be available.
This class is intended for students age 7+ (adults welcome). There is an audition required (waived for adult participants). Prerequisite of experience at Suzuki Bk 4+ for violin; Suzuki Bk 3+ for viola and cello OR equivalent). Exceptions can be made based on teacher recommendation.
Students will be placed in an ensemble based on their playing level, as determined by the audition. Requests to be in a group with a friend or friends will be considered, but may or may not be honored.
Adult students (including those who previously participated in Myelin Ensemble) can register for this class! Myelin Ensemble will now be scheduled as part of our Chamber Ensembles program. Myelin Chamber Ensemble participants must be able to read music and play their instrument in first position.
