"I was slightly nervous when I arrived but the atmosphere was so warm and welcoming that I fitted in immediately. Whether you had been at NYSO for years or you were on your first course it was very easy to make friends. During the courses I developed my musicality, posture and sight-reading and became more confident generally. The section tutors and my fellow musicians really changed the way I feel about playing the violin."
We currently offer courses for three orchestras. The Senior Course is for Grade 8 and above and the two Intermediate Courses are for Grade 5 to Grade 8 and above.

The continued generosity of our supporters enables NYSO to make our courses accessible to a broad spectrum of talented young string players. This is fundamental to our ethos and key to our continued success.
