[edit] Sectional Tutorials
Orchestra members receive regular tutorials during weekend rehearsals and music camps. Each section of the orchestra will be coached by members of the MPO in the preparation of individual parts, section and general orchestral playing and thus gain valuable insight into the routines and lives of professional musicians.
[edit] Chamber Music Emsembles
Chamber and ensemble music is an integral part of the Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. A variety of ensembles are created so that MPYO members can experience the joy of making music in a small, more intimate chamber music setting. Members who are of suitable standards are allocated to chamber groups and ensembles which include:
* Duo, trio, quartet, quintet etc. * String Ensemble, Wind Ensemble, Concert Band, Brass Ensemble and Percussion Ensemble.
The programme focuses on ensemble playing skills and repertoire development. Each chamber ensemble receives regular coaching from experienced MPYO tutors, participate in masterclasses and get involved in performances.
