Play in a Group - FAQs

Why play in a group?

Playing in a music group or ensemble brings many benefits. It’s a social experience as well as a musical one. Benefits include:- 

• increased concentration

• help with listening skills

• enhanced coordination.

Joining a group also helps with social skills such as learning to work with others in a team, increased responsibility and discipline,  a sense of achievement through performing and much,

much more. 

​

As with any activity, the more you put in to it the more you get out, so if you attend a group regularly and take part in performances and concerts, you will gain the full benefits from playing an instrument.

How do I find out about groups and ensembles?

There are many ways that you can get involved in playing in a group. Most schools have groups at lunchtimes and after school and if they don’t you could ask about starting one.
