Young Musicians and Artists, Willamette University, Salem, ORORCHESTRA - Session 1: June 26 – July 8, 2011
 - Grades 4-12 Students who have previous instruction in band or orchestral instruments and who read music may enroll in Instrumental Music during Session 1. Auditions on the first day place musicians in groups according to ability level and determine their placement in orchestra and band. The music faculty exposes students to a wide variety of the world’s great symphonic music, which is rarely offered in middle schools or high schools. Faculty and counselors perform along with the students. This integration of ages and skill levels creates an opportunity for mentoring to take place and facilitates a camaraderie among all musicians. The more advanced student is offered the option of playing in both the band and orchestra, which provides a more rigorous and challenging schedule. Students spend forty-five minutes each day learning in small group sectionals. They are divided into groups according to their instruments and are assigned an instructor who is a specialist in that instrument. Through expert advice and daily personal attention, the students explore the possibilities of their instruments and deepen their understanding of music. Instrumental music students will have the opportunity to work in small chamber groups each afternoon. These small ensembles will work on chamber music suited to their ability levels with one of our music counselors or faculty. Each student is provided with individual practice time. With the many activities going on during the thirteen-day session, the practice periods are welcome opportunities for students to reflect and focus on their own development. Students have many opportunities to perform. In addition to the informal performance on Sunday morning marking mid-session, and the final performance on the last day of the session, there are a number of recitals in which students are encouraged to participate. http://ymainc.org/ (http://ymainc.org/) Contact: phone: 503.281.9528 •E-mail: info@YMAinc.org •Address: Young Musicians Artists - P.O.
