The program is designed to use the life skills learned in music instruction to engage youth in activities that discourage at-risk behaviors and keep them committed to staying in school.

Summer of Curriculum Planning


We've just assembled a group of teachers and conductors to assist in articulating a set curriculum for the MYO program over the summer months. We're very excited as we piece together this piece of the puzzle to form a stronger, more consistent program for our MYO families!

Our curricula will address the following:

  1. Identifying benchmarks for each orchestra (what should a student be able to do)

  2. Understanding the characteristics of each developmental age group

  3. Creating universal expectations for behavior and culture

  4. Planning for implementation with the Conductor, Instructor, Parent, and Student in mind

  5. Articulating the methodology for each group
Wish us well!! =)
