Dear Parents and Guardians,

Playing in a youth orchestra may be helpful for some students to help them develop coordination, and balance. Being in an orchestra also often helps a student develop social and team-playing skills. Here are the web-sites of some local orchestras. There is no one 'best orchestra'. Please discuss with Denise which orchestra may be appropriate to meet your child's needs.
