Acadiana Symphony Prep Orchestra
Designed to build upon a student’s private lesson training, the ASYO Preparatory Orchestra will introduce young players to the ensemble experience. This class will help students build the skills necessary to succeed in an orchestral setting such as the ASYO or a school orchestra. Students will develop note and rhythm reading skills while learning repertoire, and learn to work together in sections to prepare for performances. The ASPO is a great place to begin the ensemble playing experience and collaborate with other young musicians, while building the skills necessary to play in the Acadiana Symphony Youth Orchestra.
