Ensemble
Chamber music is one of the great ways to communicate with others through music. By playing chamber music, students develop musicianship and gain valuable communication skills. BMA will assign students to form groups such as duos, piano trios, and string ensembles. Chamber music sessions will be three months long, with performance opportunities at studio classes and recitals.
