Where prior knowledge is needed, the instructional outline itemizes the required concepts in the "Prior Knowledge" section.

That being said, the only other prior knowledge assumed of this cornerstone is that the ensemble is comprised of a level-appropriate grouping of students who are undertaking the endeavor to rehearse and perform music, and that the group has a baseline set of best-practices, rehearsal procedures and routines, in which students are versed and equipped to participate as fully as their ability will allow.
