Ensembles

The NT Music School's Ensemble Program aims to improve and expand the musicianship of our students through regular opportunities to play with other students and perform publicly. Playing and performing with others is the most important way for students to develop and apply their skills learned through lessons and practice.

NT Music School co-ordinates a number of combined schools ensembles at a range of locations, all of whom represent NT schools at numerous public events throughout the year. Our Ensemble Program is open to all students from year 4 to year 12, though different conditions apply for entry into each.

Please check your region for Ensembles offered.
