Albany Youth Orchestra provides orchestra and group piano classes for 3rd-12th graders at Albany public schools and our AYO Music Center in Albany. Funds raised go to scholarships for lower-income students, provide rental instruments for our students, and supports music programs and events that reach the larger community in the mid-Willamette Valley. Our aim is to build a deeply connected community through youth music education to provide lifelong habits and tools to navigate the ups and downs of life.
