Each Orchestra meets in Peoria once a week, and has concerts once a semester. This group has some of the best teachers and conductors in the area.
Semester tuition fees range from $225-300, depending on ensemble. Partial tuition assistance is available on an individual basis.
YMI is audition based with four different levels - Dolce, Prepatory, Concert, and Youth Symphony.
If you have a motivated student, I highly suggest auditioning this Summer. Message your orchestra teacher for suggestions!
