The Gift of Music Can Last a Lifetime

Learning to play a musical instrument has been shown to improve mathematic and reading comprehension skills, to boost mood, and to enhance coordination.

INSTRUCTOR

DCYO instructors focus on a holistic approach to learning music theory, history, ear training and sight reading in addition to proper instrument techniques and maintenance.

Imagine the look of excitement on the faces of young children when they are handed their musical instrument for the first time! Then imagine those faces beaming with delight when they perform together on stage and in concert with the Douglas County Youth Orchestra (DCYO).

GIVE THE GIFT OF MUSIC

Their pride in accomplishing something as a result of their desire, dedication and discipline is what makes music education so vital. The USA is proud to sponsor the DCYO, and with you as our partner, their music plays on!

Together we can help youth in Douglas County to develop their talents, improve their confidence and have brighter futures through the gift of music.
