[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what do you consider a big commitment?  [b]MCYO is weekly, with a weekly private lesson (mandatory) and optional ensemble (highly recommended and only every few weeks)[/b].  PVYO, not fully sure, but I don't think they have a private lesson requirement, but it's recommended.  Most sports/activities at higher levels are a few times a week minimum so it's not a huge commitment but with MCYO you cannot miss sessions except illness.[/quote]

There is no extra ensemble to speak of. They're tried to get it off the ground, but few kids participate. The private lesson is required, and you need to enter your private instructor's name and contact info when signing up. But they're not going to check that you attend all year - it's more that the consistency in private instruction ensures you're good enough for MCYO. MCYO does not require, like another PP said, participation in one's school orchestra.

There are extra ensembles but it depends on the instrument.  Our child is in an additional ensemble.  MCYO paperwork prefers kids be in school orchestra, but they make exeptions if its not offered, scheduling conflicts, etc.  Our school orchestra is a waste of time, more of a hang out relax class.[/quote]
