Orchestra – Homer Youth String Orchestra Club

Our orchestra is broken down into three sessions and meet on Tuesdays at West Homer Elementary School. They are mixed ensembles of cellos, basses, violins and violas. These groups are designed for students to have fun playing together while learning orchestral skill and improving note reading ability.

Scherzos

For our younger or beginning students, this group meets Tuesdays. Students should be able to read music to participate.

Tuttis

Tuttis is for all orchestra students and meets the first Tuesday of every month. Tuttis may meet more frequently leading up to concerts.

Allegros

For our older or intermediate students, this group meets Tuesdays.

In Dedication to Lisa Schallock

Lisa joined HYSOC in 2007 when she was the instructor for the new Elementary school strings group for very beginners. Under her leadership, HYSOC has grown in scope while maintaining impeccably high standards for music education and performance.

Her tireless dedication to HYSOC's mission has rippled through the community, and she continues to inspire beginning through advanced string students. We want to honor her legacy by awarding a scholarship to students who act her advice to always keep improving!
