Orchestra in the Schools 2022-2023

OUR MISSION

The mission of Orchestra in the Schools is to "Inspire Success for All Children Through Music," providing 27 two hour groups lessons at one of two sites: Pacific Grove and Seaside. Instruction geared to beginner, Intermediate, and advanced level musicians in grades 3-8 throughout the Monterey County. OITS believes that all children, regardless of economic status, race, or ethnicity, deserve the enriching opportunity to learn how to read music, play an instrument, and perform in an orchestra. We hold a deep belief that children who build their confidence through the rigor and cooperation required to produce music together will become adults who understand the value of perseverance, appreciate artistic beauty, and practice responsibility, helping make the world a better place.
