Eugene-Springfield Youth Orchestra

Beginning Strings – for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders!

Eugene-Springfield Youth Orchestras (ESYO) offers your children a chance to learn the violin, viola, or cello – and they provide the instrument to take home! Accessible, affordable classes are held right here at Holt. Classes meet twice a week after school, Wednesdays (1:15-2:00) and Fridays (2:30-3:15) in the music room.

There are so many benefits! Students gain self-confidence, discipline, cooperation, and the sheer joy of making music together. They perform for their schools, and twice a year, the strings students from different classes come together to play their concerts and show what they’ve learned to family and friends. It’s a unique and wonderful experience – find out more on the Youth Orchestras website. or call them at 541-484-0473.
