Moving On Up in Your Child’s Musical Journey
In Stage 3 of our Performing Artist Program, your young Player (student in grade 5 or 6) takes their musical abilities to the next level. Players will join the ensemble group experience to explore playing together as a band, discover multiple genres, develop performance skills, and dive into music technology. Throughout this stage, players will work with a basic blues progression and build the skills required to progress to Stage 4: Creators.
Each Player will also attend a regularly scheduled private lesson in their instrument of study or voice to further develop their personal musical abilities.

Assessment for New Students:
Students new to the studio will complete an assessment to ensure they have the foundational skills needed to join a Players ensemble. This assessment helps us determine whether a student is ready to step into the ensemble experience for the upcoming intake period.
Not Quite Ready Yet?
If a student isn’t quite ready to join the ensemble, we’ll guide them through a personalized preparation pathway designed to build the skills and confidence needed for success in a band setting.
Students in this stage will participate through an Artist Membership, which includes regular private lessons along with connection to our studio community and performance opportunities.
This ensures they continue to grow musically while staying connected to the collaborative experience of the Performing Artist Program, with a clear plan to transition into an ensemble when they’re ready.
