Guitar Ensemble: Steve Smillie
This Guitar Ensemble is run by Steve Smillie and comprises guitarists on acoustic, electric and bass guitars and members enjoy exploring music from a range of genres. The ensemble provides students with the opportunity to further develop sight-reading, improvisation, ensemble and rhythm section skills. Reading needs to be at least Grade 2 or 3 up to fret 12, although sight reading skills will be developed in rehearsals. The opportunity to gain experience and improve performance confidence is provided and students take advantage of this important facet of learning by participating in concerts.
Rehearsals: Thursdays 7.00pm to 8.00pm
Venue: D1 Georgiana Terrace, Gosford
Ensemble Director: Steve Smillie
