The Mission of the Homer Youth String Orchestra Club is to foster the orchestral arts for our Homer area youth.

Our goals are:

  • To teach students to master skills that will enable them to perform music well on their chosen instrument, leading to lifelong enjoyment and personal fulfillment through music.
  • To develop students’ understanding of and appreciation for music and a vehicle for creative self-expression and as a key to understanding past and present human experience.
  • To teach students artistic modes of problem solving, which bring analytical and developmental tools to every situation.
  • To teach students to adapt to and respect others’ ways of thinking, working and expressing themselves.
  • To teach students to analyze and interpret nonverbal forms of communication and make informed judgements of cultural products and issues.
  • To develop the ability to respond to music through writing and to evaluate musical performances using a set of established criteria.

These values and skill will be taught through the development of perform abilities and theoretical and historical knowledge of music.

The Homer Youth String Orchestra is a parent-run, volunteer organization – the time and efforts of our families help the club run smoothly.
