Junior Melbourne String Ensemble

JMSE is a junior group comprised of players approx 8-12 years of age.

JMSE provides a warm and nurturing environment for our youngest members and focuses on developing their ensemble and performance skills. Students develop a love of orchestral playing as they rehearse and perform an eclectic range of repertoire.

The JMSE also incorporates a separate group; the Junior Melbourne String Chamber Ensemble (JMSCE). This is composed of some of the more advanced junior players who are ready to rehearse and perform without a conductor. It assists students in developing enhanced listening, communication and musicianship skills.

The expected entry standard is as follows;

Violin: AMEB grade 3 plus
Celllo/viola: AMEB grade 2 plus

Rehearsals are scheduled on Saturdays during school terms in Kew

JMSE rehearse from 1pm-2pm
JMSCE rehearse from 2pm-3pm
