Instrumental Music

Play, Perform, Collaborate.

Instrumental music at Tabor offers students opportunities to develop their skills, perform regularly, and collaborate with others across a range of settings. 

Students participate in ensembles—such as String Ensemble and Wind Ensemble—and may form smaller chamber groups. Performances take place throughout the year in a variety of settings, including concerts, recitals, and community events such as Chapel and All School Meeting. 

Tabor instrumentalists also pursue opportunities beyond campus, including participation in regional and All-State festivals.

Instrumental Ensembles

String Ensemble

The String Ensemble brings together violinists, violists, cellists, and bassists to perform a wide range of repertoire while developing ensemble skills such as balance, intonation, and musical expression.

Wind Ensemble

The Wind Ensemble includes woodwind, brass, and percussion players and explores a variety of musical styles, with an emphasis on tone, blend, and ensemble performance.

Additional Opportunities

In addition to participating in performing arts courses and ensembles, students may: 

• Perform in formal concerts and recitals  
• Participate in smaller, student-led groups  
• Audition for regional and state ensembles  

If students are interested in private instruction, faculty can help connect them with external instructors on a case-by-case basis. Lessons are arranged independently for a fee.
