The research methods used in the current study include collecting and analyzing available documentations and data, as well as semi-structured interviews with teachers, administrators, and representatives from the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA). Through the interviews and the collection and analysis of past and current data, the study seeks to attain a better understanding of the ensembles’ founding background, purposes, and the challenges and solutions faced, in order to bring forth appropriate and constructive suggestions. The concluding results of the present study are listed as follows: 1. The founding and development history of the large musical ensembles in the present case study (henceforth, the ENSEMBLES) can be classified as the following four periods: preparation, genesis, breaking-in, and development. 2. The ENSEMBLES are well received and supported in the following areas: school administration, teachers’ professional development, recruitment, and parents participation. 3. Some potential management challenges were presented: inconsistent service and employment of instructors, insufficient rehearsal spaces and equipments, difficulty in rehearsal schedule coordination, promoting and advertising both on and off campus. 4. In terms of faculty, the ENSEMBLES faced difficulties while hiring adjunct instructors and their professional development. 5. The ENSEMBLES had experienced trouble with recruiting numbers as well as imbalanced instrumental sections. 6. In terms of parents participation, the ENSEMBLES faced challenges with insufficient funding and lack of volunteers, and difficulties in collaboration among people. 7. In the areas of teachers’ professional development, on-campus rehearsal spaces, funding, running sectionals and rehearsals, and promotion, the ENSEMBLES were able to resolve the problems with the help and support provided by the school’s administration. 8. In the areas of hiring adjunct instructors, balancing sections, and rehearsal efficiency, the ENSEMBLES were able to overcome the challenges through full-time teachers’ professional training and skill sets. 9. The recruitment numbers of the ENSEMBLES increased as a result of diversified recruiting strategies and improved rehearsal efficiency. 10. The management of the ENSEMBLES, particularly in the areas as funding and manpower, ameliorated due to parents’ participation and support, which in turn enhanced the recruitment and promotion of the ENSEMBLES. The present study seeks to provide suggestions and directions to benefit those government officials, junior high school leaders, administrators, and teachers who wish to have large musical ensembles in their schools.
