Joy of Music String Ensemble I

Gerdlie Jean Louis, conductor

The Joy of Music String Ensemble I introduces young string players to the fun of playing in a group with other young musicians.  They will learn how to balance their sound, listen to other parts, and play in tune. Many members of the JOMP Youth Orchestra (JYO) and Concertante Strings had their first ensemble experience playing in JOMSE 1.  

Last season's ensemble participated in a special Orchestra Residency Week with world-renowned violinist Midori. Through her Orchestra Residencies Program (ORP), Midori led workshops and rehearsals focused on collaboration, community engagement, and artistic growth, culminating in a public performance with our string ensembles.

The level guideline is Suzuki Book 1 at least through #10 (Allegretto). Students must be taking private lessons.

Teacher recommendation for new students is required.  Students not taking private lessons at JOMP are welcome but need to schedule an audition. Please call or email Caroline Reiner-Williams at 508-856-9541 or  caroline@jomp.org to arrange a placement audition.

Please arrive 10 minutes early to tune and warm up.
