Thanks to the WYO both of my sons are confident performers and musicians. They have been given rare memories and have learned how to play as part of an orchestra. It has given their playing a real focus and the whole family love watching the concerts. It's incredible the amount they have gained from the WYO at their ages - it has given them experiences, skills and options that will last them a lifetime.
What Orchestra Members And Their Parents Say...
Chloe joined the Weston Youth Orchestra when she was eight years old. As well as the social side she has developed her love of music through playing a varied orchestral repertoire which has done wonders for her sight reading skills. She has also on many occasions been able to develop her solo playing during concerts.
Fantastic, friendly and fun.
Makes you feel welcome and is a great way to enjoy playing your instrument with other like-minded children.
WYO has given our son amazing musical opportunities over the years – thank you.
Being a member of WYO has improved my playing considerably, especially my sight-reading, and I have made friends that will last a lifetime!
