Select Ensemble

Unlimited makeups. Sick day, sports tournament, family trip. All enrollments come with unlimited make-ups. No ‘use it or lose it.’

Not at all! Our classes for the littlest ones are full of activities that not only enhance child development but also ignite a love of music. It’s where lifelong musicians get their first nudge.

We offer year-round enrollment, so there’s no need to wait for a specific season to get started. Students naturally progress and level up throughout the year, and that’s all part of the process. We encourage families to begin whenever their child is ready—because the best time to start is now.

We know that schedules change, as do kids! We offer a variety of class types and times. We can work with you to find the right fit for your schedule. And if nothing works? You may withdraw with 30 days notice.

Students are invited to join by their private lesson teacher when they demonstrate readiness in their playing skills, practice habits, and ability to work well in a group setting.

Yes. This is an advanced group experience. Students should have a solid foundation on their instrument and be comfortable learning and performing pieces independently with guidance from their teacher.

Less than you think. We’d rather a kid practice 10 happy minutes a day than 30 forced. The class structure does most of the heavy lifting. Home practice is for reinforcement, not survival.

No. Students continue their private lessons as usual. The ensemble is an additional experience that complements and enhances their individual instruction.

Two formal recitals a year (winter is festive, spring is dressier) at Velocity Church, a few miles from the studio. Plus regular in-class showcases. Performance is part of how we teach. Not a stressful capstone.

Students take songs they’ve learned individually and rehearse how their parts fit together. They learn timing, balance, listening skills, and how to perform as a unified group.

Select Ensemble is designed for students across multiple instruments (such as piano, guitar, voice, and others), depending on the arrangement of each piece.

School band is fantastic when it’s available, but it usually starts in middle school and only covers band instruments. We start as young as zero, cover piano, guitar, ukulele, voice, and ensemble work. Our teachers specialize in young learners.

Yes. Ensemble groups typically have opportunities to perform in studio showcases and special events, giving students real performance experience as part of a group.

Beyond musical growth, students develop listening skills, confidence, teamwork, accountability, and the ability to adapt their playing within an ensemble.

The ensemble meets on a regular weekly schedule in addition to private lessons.

Select Ensemble requires a 4-month minimum commitment. An ensemble works best when students learn and grow together over time. Each class builds on the last, and consistency is key — not just for skill development, but for confidence and group connection.
