Does your student play an instrument with their school program already? If they are thinking about switching, or have already switched to a new instrument but need practice on their new clef, Winter Term with the PCYO is a great time to try it! Our beginner class will have gotten past the “what’s a bow” stage and be into the “let’s learn this clef” stage so it’s a great time for students who know how to play an instrument but need support on a new one to join us.

This December, the Peninsula Community Youth Orchestra has organized a collection of short holiday family jams held across Clallam County taught by local musicians and private teachers playing easy beginner and intermediate holiday music. Each holiday jam will welcome up to 5 students, and coaches will invite students playing instruments they are personally familiar with, allowing family and friends to play along with beginner and intermediate string students on guitar, piano, or wind instruments as able. Any students of the appropriate age playing the appropriate instruments may sign up!
