Give the Gift of Music
[quotes]”What I like about MYS is that it gives me a chance to play in a band, because I don’t have a school band.” – Kaitlin, MYS student[/quotes]
Tuition and ticket sales cover only half of the cost of educating our young musicians.
At Metropolitan Youth Symphony, we believe that every child should have access to music, regardless of their skill level or financial ability. Your support allows us to provide the highest quality of teaching to all of our students, including low-income families supported by our tuition assistance program and students who have may not otherwise have the opportunity to play music, supported by our beginning strings program.
[quotes]“Being able to participate in orchestra is a difficult thing to do for children whose families are struggling financially. Many public schools no longer offer orchestra and so is the case for my daughter. She has never received a private lesson, so she tries to soak up everything being taught in her Overture class from Metropolitan Youth Symphony. I really can’t thank MYS enough for giving her the opportunity.” – MYS parent[/quotes]
