Why join a youth orchestra program?
Playing in an orchestra setting greatly enhances the musical experience for students! It creates an additional social opportunity where students can play with peers while gaining valuable ensemble skills. It also provides students with more concert opportunities, chances to play in the community and expand music they learn. It also strengthens sight reading skills while creating great friendships!
