Fall 2026 MYS Bronze Ensemble Registration Form

Instruction is provided by a pre-service string music education student conductor and/or early-career string teacher who are being mentored by MYS veteran music teacher educators. The last rehearsal includes an “Informance” Concert by the students for friends and family.

Expectations

• Adhere to Expectations for ALL MYS Musicians listed above.

• Students are expected to wear something nice for their “Informance” Concert.

A symphony, orchestra, and ensemble (much like a sports team, marching band, choir, etc) excels only when the collective membership works towards a common goal. If any one member is unable to play their part, the collective result is less than satisfactory. By its very nature, an orchestra relies on the unity of each section to create the masterpiece that was initially envisioned by each composer. This may be accomplished ONLY by commitment and hard work. The end result is rewarding and always magnificent.
