Metropolitan Youth Orchestras of Central Alabama
Embedded Files
Our Mission: The Metropolitan Youth Orchestras of Central Alabama is dedicated to making music instruction and ensemble playing available to all, thereby developing character and sense of community.
We teach orchestral instruments, piano, and guitar to ages 8 to 18, including children with disabilities. Participating students may borrow instruments that they can also use in their school's music program.
We are currently finalizing plans for Summer 2026.
We will offer instruction on three Saturdays in June and three in July (see calendar below), with options for families to register for one month or both. Teaching will begin with orchestra at 9:00 a.m., followed by lessons and group classes from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., with final schedules depending on enrollment. Summer electives are also planned. Full details and registration information will be posted as soon as they are finalized.
