Performing in Classical Ensembles is one of the most enjoyable and rewarding aspects of classical music study at WAAPA, and is a vital part of each students learning path. WAAPA offers an exciting range of classical ensembles, and all students are assigned to one or more ensemble activities by their Area Co-ordinator. Students will also be assigned to one or more Project Week activities by their Area Co-ordinator. This unit is designed for students who participate in one or more extra ensembles in addition to their primary Classical Ensemble. In this unit, students develop instrumental and/or vocal skills to a professional level through ensemble rehearsals and performances. They participate in one or more ensembles, which may include chamber music groups, choirs, symphony orchestras, music theatre orchestras, operas, new music groups, and other instrumental ensembles. Emphasis is placed on a professional-level of skills in musicianship, as well as an understanding of historical performance practices and keys to successful musical interpretation. In addition, students establish leadership skills in ensembles, advance their expertise in ensemble playing, teamwork, concert presentation and professional etiquette. They enhance their capacity for self-evaluation, and reinforce their strategic understanding of rehearsal processes and outcomes.
