Students are accepted into our bands and ensembles based upon the approval
of the student's instructor or by auditioning with the Academy director. Students
are encouraged to register for ensembles and bands as group performance
opportunities commendably compliment our weekly private music instruction
programs. Actually, students who study privately and perform with a group
excel musically and typically practice more.

Yes, practicing on a consistent basis is a requirement. Auditions are required
for non-Music Notes Academy students as our bands and ensembles are open
to students who are not currently studying music with Music Notes Academy.
