Music Picnic (Ensemble Concert)

We organised an ensemble concert with our students. Both piano and guitar student usually plays and practices solo piece alone in their process of learning. We think it is better for them to have an opportunity to make music with others, to see/experience music from different view point, and playing in ensemble is absolutely enjoyable!

15 ensembles consisted of mainly melodica, and flute, violin, piano, guitar, and tombak.
