Masterworks Chamber Music Coaching
“I feel especially blessed to have been included in the WSO Chamber Ensemble Program for the past two years. I have learned a great deal from both the coaches we had, and I really enjoyed working on a professional level with them. I was inspired by their musicianship and knowledge, and working with them has made me a better performer and musician in general.”
-Student at Kettle Moraine High School
This project promotes the study of chamber music by assigning
a WSO musician to a high school as an ensemble coach. The
WSO coach, high school string teacher and student musicians
decide what repertoire to study during the year. The WSO coach
spends five sessions with the group, which practices outside
classroom time and is expected to perform the work selected
for the entire high school orchestra and in a concert setting.
All students in the high school orchestra are given a writing
assignment that can vary from self-reflection to a music critique.
