Ensembles and Clubs
CMA is proud to offer an inclusive programme of ensembles for young musicians from CMA, our Partner Schools and the wider musical community. Ensemble members develop confidence, teamwork and performance skills while preparing for CMA events and external performance opportunities.
Most CMA ensembles do not require an audition. Participation and commitment are essential to each ensemble’s success, with performance at the heart of the experience. Jukebox and Glee places are confirmed according to suitability and the balance required within each group. In keeping with our belief that We Bring Music to Everyone, we welcome CMA students, Partner School students and musicians who do not currently take lessons with CMA, as well as members of the wider musical community.
Our ensemble programme has been slightly updated for the 2026–2027 academic year, with clearer entry levels, an adapted Beginner Ensemble and the launch of the new Junior Jukebox rock band. Existing CMA students do not need to re-register to join an ensemble. Please contact our team by email here or speak to Reception to add an ensemble to an existing registration. New CMA and ensemble participants will be asked to complete a Registration Form.
Fees for all CMA ensembles are charged AED 350 per term. This covers the cost of music, materials and instruments. We keep the price of the ensembles as low as possible to encourage as many participants as possible.
