Little Mission Guitar Ensemble: Kids’ Class

Session:

Fall 2026


Description:

Guitar ensemble for kids! The goal of Little Mission Guitar Ensemble is to introduce students to the unique challenges of ensemble playing (counting, listening, dynamics, playing with a conductor, etc.), and to expand their knowledge of guitar ensemble repertoire. In addition to learning repertoire, the class will include group activities to introduce and focus on these challenges. Depending on the number of students, the class will focus on a handful of large ensemble pieces, as well as duos/trios/quartets. Little Mission Guitar Ensemble will include an emphasis on sight reading, depending on the level of the students enrolled.
