"OKYO has helped me to develop my skills in a more professional way. I really enjoyed working with everyone at Oklahoma Youth Orchestra. I have learned different skills that I’ve been able to use at my own school so I been able to pay it forward with what I’ve learned. This program has helped me so much to become a better musician. I appreciate the encouragement I received along the way. What really stood out was not just the encouragement, but the way this program challenged me with the music selection. It was challenging, but felt so good That we were able to accomplish it. Because of OKYO I know that I want to keep challenging myself now and I know that I want to continue to college seeking a career and someday play for the philharmonic. Thank you for the opportunity to let me play with Oklahoma Youth Orchestra and learn so I could take that knowledge back to my highschool to teach others.
Thank you so much."

Student Statement
​
The students served by Oklahoma Youth Orchestras are learning new musical skills every week as they prepare for challenging and entertaining concerts for the community with their musical peers from across the metro, under the direction of our fantastic Artistic Staff.
​
​But that’s not all – in addition to providing musical instruction and experiences, we are developing the next generation of civic and arts leaders. Gaining life skills of creative problem solving and communication; performing free community concerts; volunteering and other service learning opportunities, and choosing to serve on the Student Leadership Council where students gain experience with group strategies and public speaking; our students know how to Play It Forward – to use their knowledge, skills, and dedication to make the world a better place.
