NEW FAMILIES
How It Works
Auditions are held every year for OKYO students (we want you to grow more comfortable and confident with this integral part of being a musician) and are placed primarily by skill level demonstrated during your audition, within the overall pool of auditioning students on your instrument.
If you do not wish to submit an audition, we have 3 additional ensemble offerings to choose from:
01
Send in an Audition video if interested in one of the placement ensembles: Sinfonia, Chamber Orchestra, Percussion Ensemble, Oklahoma Youth Winds, Oklahoma Youth Philharmonic, Oklahoma Youth Orchestra.
02
We'll send Placement results in late summer. Placement results are which ensemble you have placed into, including who is the conductor, when and where your rehearsals are, and that ensemble's membership dues.*
03
Your Placement notification will include your instructions to register and either pay membership dues in full, set up a payment plan, or request a special scholarship.
*
Please keep in mind we fundraise all year long to provide special scholarships and every family who applies receives one- please do not let the cost deter you from joining OKYO!
**
There is no obligation to accept your placement and join OKYO - but PLEASE CONTACT US FIRST at maria@okyomusic.org to share your concerns. We help families every year with carpools, special scholarships, etc. Everyone at OKYO is passionate about students excelling through music and we want to remove any access barriers for you and your family.
Audition requirements differ by instrument, and are flexible to accommodate different skill levels.
