Stage 1, SYO Strings

Stage One is where many young players gain their first ensemble experience. In this Stage, young musicians are introduced to playing in an instrumental section, and learn vital ensemble skills. Through exposure to music with a range of technical requirements, players in Stage One will develop rhythmic and tonal skills, and learn to interpret basic dynamic and style markings. Repertoire for Stage One ensembles includes arrangements of music from the classical canon by Beethoven and Telemann as well as works especially for young musicians by respected pedagogical composers such as Richard Meyer and Stephen Chin.
