The Montgomery County Youth Orchestra (MCYO) is now open to students of all skill levels, ages 8-18, from Montgomery County and surrounding areas. Led by a team of accomplished string and wind educators, MCYO inspires young musicians to reach their full potential through creativity, collaboration, and performance. With a focus on building discipline and achieving musical goals, we aim to provide music education and performance opportunities for every student while enriching the cultural landscape of our community.

​

Officially kicking off in January, MCYO welcomes beginners, intermediate, and advanced musicians, offering the chance to collaborate at their level within a supportive orchestra. Foundational skill-building has already begun, including essential orchestral techniques such as music reading, rhythm, and ensemble performance. Beginners to intermediate-level students are encouraged to begin working with our directors now leading up to our group rehearsals after the holidays.  This orchestra includes strings, woodwinds, brass, and selected percussion instruments. Private lessons are encouraged for all students and required for beginners to foster confidence and steady progress.
