| Anyone have experience with the DC Youth Orchestra? Is it a well run program? Would you recommend it for an elementary school student? |
Yes! Both of my kids have done DCYOP. It is a highly regarded program. |
| Yes, absolutely. DS did it for 5 years and became a proficient string player. He plays in college now. |
| +1. My son was beginning percussion and will advance in the fall. A+ percussion instructor = Mr. Corey |
| Is 11 too old to start a beginning class (will they be out of place, given that a lot of the classes show a starting age of 8)? |
| I can’t speak to recent experience but I was a member in elementary/middle school in the early 90s and it was an awesome experience. I’m glad to hear that it’s still thriving. |
