Instrumental Music Ensemble is starting!!

First meeting will be on Wednesday August 29, from 3:15-4:45 in the lounge in the Admin. Building. All instruments are welcomed!   

We will have an introductory meeting and chat about the semester.

On the first day, each student should also be prepared to play individually for 3-5 minutes for placement in the ensemble. Students can bring sections of pieces or entire pieces. This is not a test!  The day will be informal.  Students should bring music they like and are comfortable playing.

The Instrumental Music Ensemble will focus on rehearsal and performance in small instrumental ensembles. Students will be guided and coached in their development as instrumentalists, ensembles members and in overall musicianship.

Students are required to have had at least two years of private instruction on their instrument. (In some cases, this requirement might be waived by audition only. Students who have not had two years of private study should contact Dr. Grego by Tuesday August 28 to discuss waiving the requirement or starting private lessons so they can participate in the class in the future.)

Every student enrolled is required to complete one hour a week of private lessons with their own instructor.  
 
The Music Ensemble will perform during the semester and those that are interested will be encouraged to take part in the music group at the school liturgies.

This class meets in the afternoon on Wednesdays - 3:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.

Dr. Michael Grego is new at FSHA. Dr. Grego became involved at FSHA a few years ago as a parent of a FSHA student, and is now returning to teach music.
