We are excited to have you join our Orchestra Family! As expressed by Plato, "Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul." In our Aviara Oaks Middle School Orchestra Program, we are here to not just advance our abilities on our instruments, we are musicians participating in a rich culture that has deep roots and endless possibilities. It is one of the greatest opportunities available at school where you can have fun, learn a beautiful art form to express yourself, develop life-long interpersonal skills, and make memories with an incredibly special group - our orchestra family! I look forward to many amazing experiences together!
