What can your child learn from the orchestra?

- teamwork
The orchestra coordinates individual abilities into one central effort. It gives children the feeling of group loyalty and motivation. An orchestra stimulates and fefines and gives the child that essential feeling of belonging.

- concentration
Attention to detail is vital in all education-related projects. Concentration built in the orchestra often carries over to other areas, improving study habits and increasing intellectual understanding and curiosity.

- appreciation
Orchestra participation encourages respect and appreciation for aesthetic values and the beauty of the music created.

- discipline
The orchestra teaches responsibility. Emphasis is placed on following instructions and teaches the child respect for music and group effect.

- personal achievement
Recognizing, meeting, and overcoming a challenge may be the single most rewarding experience of all. Orchestra participation offers that opportunity by providing a learning experience where growth and fulfillment can occur.

- a career
Few young orchestra participants possess the talent, drive, and self-discipline necessary to create a performing career; but the achievement of maximum individual potential can lead to collete scholarships and other financially beneficial arrangements ... and possibly the accolades of music aficionados everywhere!
