To receive an audition time slot please fill out this online registration form and/or send an email to info.livingstonsymphony@gmail.com or call Lisa at 586-214-6817.

For all LYO Students

Students should prepare:

• 2 scales representative of their ability
• A piece of their choice no longer than five minutes in length.
• To sightread a short excerpt selected by the conductor.

Private lessons are recommended, as this greatly benefits the student’s musical development.

Auditions are required for both new students and once a year for all returning students.

Participation in School Music Programs

LYO strongly encourages all students to participate in their own school music program and ensembles. Being a member of LYO is not intended to replace school programs but rather enhance and augment a young musician’s music education by providing additional performance opportunities of challenging repertoire with professional conductors and instructors.

Tuition

The 2021-2022 tuition rates:

$250/year

Need-based scholarships are available to students on a limited basis. Tuition subject to change.

Tuition is due on or before the first rehearsal in September unless other arrangements are made. For those requiring financial assistance, contact us at  info.livingstonsymphony@gmail.com.
