Performance Ensembles
Humboldt Music Academy believes that making music together is an essential part of musical training. Ensemble participation supplements private study; we expect all students also to be taking lessons on their instrument.
We offer opportunities to perform in state-of-the-art venues at Humboldt and throughout the community. Placement in ensembles is by instructor approval.
