DCYOP offers a comprehensive music education program that serves young people in the greater DC metropolitan area. Instruction is available for all orchestra and wind ensemble (band) instruments; beginning, intermediate, and advanced students, ranging in age from 4 1/2 to 18. Students participate in classes for their individual instrument or section, and also participate in a major ensemble (orchestra, string orchestra or wind ensemble). Some students in upper levels also participate in smaller chamber ensemble opportunities as they arise.  Click here to see the instrument families!
