Guitar Ensemble
NCGS' Guitar Ensemble's mission is to create an environment of collaborative learning and social dynamics through the education of our students. Music is much more than playing alone in your living room, it is a vehicle to communicate with others while enriching people's lives. By making music together and sharing with one another we are able to contribute to our guitar community.
As part of the NCGS Curriculum, the Guitar Ensemble is an included experience. Suzuki Students begin participating after they've graduated Book 2, while beginning guitar students can participate immediately. This will always be included for any student of any ability level.
