Percussion Ensemble

Our percussion ensembles support young percussionists at different stages of their musical development, from beginner level onwards. They offer the chance to rehearse, perform and grow in confidence as part of a musical community.

The percussion pathway begins with percussion ensemble and can lead on to:

• Concert Band
• Symphonic Wind Band
• Glasgow Schools’ Symphony Orchestra

Who it’s for

Our percussion pathway includes:

• Percussion Ensemble for players from Grade 1/ P7+
• Senior Percussion Ensemble for players Grade 4+ (teacher recommendation only)

If you are unsure which ensemble is the best fit for your child, please speak with their teacher or contact us using the details provided on this page for advice.

What happens

Pupils rehearse together as part of a percussion ensemble, building confidence, rhythm skills, ensemble awareness and performance experience. These groups give young musicians the chance to develop by playing with others in a supportive setting.

How progression works

As young people develop their musical and ensemble skills, they may move from Percussion Ensemble to Senior Percussion Ensemble in addition to participation in Concert Band, then Symphonic Wind Band, and ultimately Glasgow Schools’ Symphony Orchestra. Tutors and conductors will support this process when pupils are ready for the next step.
