PYCO Junior String Orchestra

Picture
For String Players, Ages 8-12
Stephen Ehrlich, Director


Following in the PYCO tradition of excellence, the PYCO Junior String Orchestra is a program designed to build solid, fundamental rhythmic and orchestral skills and improved sight-reading abilities in a non-competitive, relaxed, supportive and fun environment for string students aged 8 to 12. 

The Junior String Orchestra rehearses every Sunday from 12:15 PM to 1:15 PM from September through April, with winter and spring breaks. There are also public performances at concerts over the course of the year. All rehearsals take place at the PYCO School of Music.

To Audition for the PYCO Junior String Orchestra
Review the audition requirements for your instrument and submit an application. Once we receive and process the completed application you will be contacted to schedule your audition.

Tuition And Membership
The Junior String Orchestra tuition is $225 per semester. A sibling discount of 10% will be applied to any PYCO tuition that is equal or less than the first tuition. If you think you will have difficulty paying tuition, please contact us as soon as possible.
