Music Director Bill Haraden Instructs the Youth Musicians during Rehearsal.
WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE CORNELIUS YOUTH ORCHESTRAS!
The mission of the Cornelius Youth Orchestras (CYO) is to educate and to enhance the knowledge, skills and abilities of the community youth by providing young musicians with unique orchestral training and performance opportunities. Every opportunity is made to provide an atmosphere where the student is challenged by the discipline of music training and involved in group performance in a comfortable, positive and engaging environment.
We acheive this goal by providing multiple levels of music instruction and orchestral training.
•§ BEGINING GROUP INSTRUCTION: NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED.
•§ CADET ORCHESTRA: ONE TO THREE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
•§ YOUTH ORCHESTRA: THREE + YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
•§ "NEW" JAZZ ENSEMBLE: THREE + YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
