Music Ensembles

Music ensembles offer students of all ages a chance to play with other musicians while learning about music and having fun. Students gain invaluable experience by studying with top-notch musicians and educators.

FSPA Glee Club

Glee Club is a performance-based class that focuses on tight harmonies, rhythmic nuance and emoting a song as a soloist and as an ensemble. Glee Club also provides the perfect setting to continue work on ear training and sight-reading skills, increasing the level of musicianship from its members. Glee Club performs at FSPA events throughout the year. Students must be concurrently enrolled in private voice lessons and have the recommendation of their teacher.
