Unparalleled Instruction
The Mainly Mozart Youth Orchestra’s instructors each have decades of teaching experience. Students also have the opportunity to rehearse and perform side-by-side with members of the Mainly Mozart All-Star Orchestra, the largest gathering of concertmasters and principal players from major orchestras across the country.
Education Adaptive to the Times
The Mainly Mozart Youth Orchestra was one of San Diego’s first youth orchestras to switch back to rehearsals after quarantine began, with a fully-fleshed out online learning curriculum. In-person rehearsals returned as early as Fall 2020. MMYO will always be committed to in-person learning if at all possible.
Integrating Students of All Abilities and Backgrounds
We encourage integration of students with cognitive and physical differences directly into core ensembles.
