Grosse Pointe Music Academy is excited to now offer Guitar Ensemble classes for all ages! Instructor Levi Henson, guitarist for the Rhythm Society Orchestra, and a Jazz Studies major at Wayne State University in Detroit, will teach this course. As a previous member of the Albion College Guitar Ensemble, and the WSU Jazz Guitar Ensemble 1, he understands the value in ensemble playing and is eager to bring his experience to the new class. In most schools, children who play guitar do not get the same opportunities as those who play orchestral instruments. Learning how to read music and eventually perform with others in a group setting is vital to a student’s overall music education. The Guitar Ensemble classes will provide students of any age or skill level an opportunity to not only read music in a group, but to also learn practical, and FUN ways to use the musical tools that a guitar (or bass guitar) player needs to perform all styles of music. Also unique to Guitar Ensemble is being around a number of musicians every week who are working on the same things that you are! When students surround themselves with others working to become better musicians as well, they’ll find encouragement from each other and maintain a healthy and productive outlook on their musical development. Guitar Ensemble is a wonderful supplement to private lessons, and is highly encouraged! Click Register or Enroll to see the most current time offerings for this class at Grosse Pointe Music Academy
