During this class students learn to apply the skills introduced in their small group instrumental lessons to an ensemble setting. These include how to follow the conductor and all play together; musical concepts such as tuning, blend and balance; rehearsal and performance etiquette; and the study of appropriate repertoire.

Students will progress from playing basic long note exercises all together to performing music arranged with multiple instrument parts.
Performance activities they may expect to engage in include Junior Concerts in the school hall, McKinnon's annual Winter Concert held at Robert Blackwood Hall, and events such as the Victorian School Music Festival.
