THE MVYSO ENDANGERED INSTRUMENT PROGRAM is designed to help students who wish to switch or double on instruments that are sought after by high school, university and independent symphony orchestras.
THESE SPECIAL instruments have a rich history dating back centuries and are beloved by composers for their sound. Because of their unusual qualities, young musicians often shy away from trying them or do not have the opportunity to play them due to a lack of availability and qualified teachers.
STUDENTS who have discovered the joy of playing and mastering these instruments often find they have more solo opportunities, a higher chance for competition placement, and higher probability of college scholarships.
IF YOU have always wanted to play an instrument as unique as you are, we can help!
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED WE CAN:
Provide you with up to 8 private lessons with a specialist.
Provide a discounted tuition rate for playing in MVYSO, depending on need.
Help you find an instrument.
Help your school get an instrument repaired so you can play it.
BAND AND ORCHESTRA TEACHERS, we’re here to help you too! We can send a specialist into your class to demonstrate an endangered instrument.
OUR GOAL is to have more students playing proficiently on endangered instruments in school band and orchestra programs as well as our programs! We want to partner with you to make this happen.
