Why should we do the Orchestra?
See the video on this page “Orchestra Info Video” which addresses many of the reasons why this has such a dramatic positive impact on budding piano students. Also, Kylie’s video on this page is also educational about the impact that the piano orchestra has on students.

Answers to frequently asked questions about playing in the Orchestra
If you’re ready to challenge yourself in ways that you have never been challenged on the piano - then the piano orchestra is for you! Each Musical that our studio puts on is accompanied by student musicians playing the orchestral score in 6-10 part harmonies on the piano! Of course, with all the instrument engineering that takes place - you won’t actually hear too much “piano” as students will be Harpsichords, Clarinets, Flutes, Piccolos and many more instrument parts on the piano. This is a challenging yet extremely rewarding class and performance experience for students that have good consistent practice habits at home.
The playing ability needed to play this music tends to be best for students who are in piano Level 3 - 6, or for Guitar - in GG2 (minimum). More advanced students can/will also assume larger roles and tend to have more solos as they accompany the cast on their own.
