Welcome to the MJYSO

The MJYSO is a non-profit organization that began in June of 1984. It is the only program for children in Moose Jaw concentrated on orchestral training. The program provides orchestral experience, training and encouragement while promoting and developing skills and knowledge in string techniques. A board of parent volunteers governs the organization.

Presently the orchestra consists of about 30 members between the ages of 5 and 17 years. There are 4 levels of instruction ranging from beginners who have never played an instrument to more advanced players. Students learn to play the violin, viola, cello or bass. Private lessons are included in the membership cost for the first 3 years of instruction and rental instruments are available through the organization at very reasonable rates.
