Intermediate Melbourne String Ensemble
IMSE, also directed by Fintan Murphy, began in 2014. IMSE advances the skills of players who are performing at a high level but are not quite ready for the senior group. Students in IMSE develop ensemble skills and the technical mastery necessary for advanced ensemble participation. To develop their musical teamwork, the IMSE performs unconducted.
The expected entry standard is as follows;
- Violin: AMEB Grade 7 plus
- Cello/Viola: AMEB Grade 5 plus
