Ensembles

Do you like playing classical guitar music? Are you frustrated with always playing alone? Well, if you have 2 years or so experience at learning classical guitar, this is the ensemble for you. Mr. Marlon Perera, OSC's guitar teacher, and an expert guitarist, will direct this ensemble. You will learn to play beautiful classical pieces in 3 parts and will perform as part of the Gala concerts during the year.

This ensemble (no audition) is open to students in Grades 6-12 who already play a wind, brass, string or percussion instrument (no guitars or recorders). They should be able to read music on their instrument in order to cope with the material we will learn (apart from percussionists).

The String Ensemble brings together like-minded individuals with a passion for music-making. The group strives to develop in its members musical skills of detailed listening, awareness of blend and color and ensemble coordination. Through performances and collaborations the String Ensemble hones the character of the OSC Geckos and seeks to develop values of responsibility, resilience and empathy.

(Open to students that play violin/viola/cello with approximately Grade 5 ABRSM/Trinity or equivalent experience )
