Did you know there is an opportunity for your child to play music in addition to the school programs?
I had the opportunity to see the Metropolitan Youth Symphony perform recently. I was surprised at the level of music these young people were playing!
- Junior Strings Orchestra – grades 1 to 5
- String Orchestra – grades 5 to 9

If your child is serious about his or her instrument, you may want to consider learning more about this non-profit organization: Metropolitan Youth Symphony. Membership is by audition, which are held towards the end of summer for the following season.
Below is a video my son took while we were at the concert, I’m sure you can determine which side of the stage his friend was performing on. This is the Symphony Orchestra:
