All instrumentalists are evaluated each term for progress. Last Modified on 1999 Children's Orchestra Society. All rights reserved. A dynamic introduction to orchestral playing, Kinder Orchestra is small, usually no more than 30 children ages 10 and under. Talent levels vary from those who are musically advanced to those who are just beginning to discover their musical gifts.
Most members have little or no orchestral or ensemble experience.
Kinder Orchestra offers these young talents the opportunity to grow together musically. Any child with some basic performing skills who plays an orchestral instrument is accepted. Classes are grouped by age and ability levels. The Kinder Orchestra rehearses weekly and performs two concerts a year. Occasionally, older children are encouraged to join this group to help improve their skills in sight reading and gain basic leadership skills.
