[quote=Anonymous]Same here. We have a child in strings (going into the fourth year). Although I can't speak to clarinets, I'd also highly recommend DCYOP. To be fair, one has to say that there was something of a slump recently, which the new leadership has been very active in overcoming. So while I would have said "meh" a little over a year ago, I feel confident for the program come fall. I agree with PP who said that there is rigor, but just as in schools, some teachers are better and more driven than others. No real duds though and a great collective experience with the new leadership paying close attention to building community among students, so that it's not just a lonely trek but a socially rewarding experience. Additional opportunities to perform are also constantly being added after the short-lived outgoing director did nothing but curtail those. That too has been adding motivation and relevance, which will hopefully grow further come fall.[/quote]
