FOR Amber Tobane, it's a familiar feeling to hold the Rockhampton Chamber Music Society Perpetual trophy.
That's because Rockhampton State High School has won it for four of the five years she's been playing piano with its chamber band.
The three-violin, viola and piano ensemble chose the piece Stormrider which Amber said was fast paced with great chords and a pretty melody.
They rehearsed for only two weeks during school lunch breaks.
Amber agreed with the adjudicator's message that playing chamber music is an excellent opportunity to learn to work together.
”It's a very valuable experience not only to participate but also to watch other competitors,” she said.
"You learn as much from then as you do from yourselves.”
