The Orchestra of Southern Utah believes in the value of music education for all ages. We provide school assemblies as well as hosting an October family Jubilee with music, science, and art activities.
We encourage students to participate in their school and community music programs. Learning to play an instrument or sing in the choir helps develop listening skills, confidence, and social skills.
This is a student in the Portland Youth Philharmonic:
“My concentration has improved a lot,” Liao says. “It helps with your patience with everyday schoolwork as well.” Walker says that the orchestra “has taught me a lot about focus and being pretty professional at a young age.” “You’re motivated to work harder,” Yin says. “You help each other build up. It’s not really competitive. I don’t think the Philharmonic is something toxic. Everyone is helping each other out. In the Philharmonic, I feel like I’ve found my niche—a place where I can be safe and heard.” (student cellist Pearl Liao)
