"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts."
This old saying accurately sums up the value we place on ensembles here at Vibe. Our music academy offers students the opportunity to be a part of performance groups with other students with similar musical interests and abilities. When students participate in ensembles, they learn what it takes to set a goal and achieve it as a group, they develop communication skills both verbally and musically, they discover how to fulfill the different roles of a soloist and an accompanist, and most of all they gain invaluable experience contributing to something bigger than themselves.
