It’s great for musicians to be with other musicians who understand the language of music and share a particular musical interest—and who understand the work it has taken to even get to that point. There is a common experience of what a rehearsal is, and what a good or bad performance feels like.

For teenagers, being in an ensemble during this crucial period of development can be an important anchor. An ensemble that is a good fit for a child becomes a safe shared place for them emotionally, and being in music, especially with friends and peers, helps get them ‘to the other side’ as positive, healthy young adults.

For adults, ensembles are a great way to express their individuality and experiment within their own style of music, or explore other styles, which they would otherwise not consider. In any case, at Forte School of Music, ensembles are a great way to grow as a musician, whilst at all times having FUN!
