What students say about world music ensembles ‘ This truly was the most incredible feeling I had had for a while … [participating in the Brazilian and Caribbean ensemble] made me so happy that I was smiling on the inside and the outside ’ . ‘ To actually have the opportunity to play [Balinese] instruments gives a sense of “ realness ” to the student. It magnifies the experience and makes it more meaningful and memorable ’ . ‘… by the end of the semester many friendships had developed which I believe will continue throughout our time at university … This sense of understanding, support and community was very special and a new experience for me ’ .
