About the Music House Orchestra Program

Our top musicians of Music House are currently playing in our orchestras, and we would love for you to join us! The Music House Orchestra Program explores a large variety of repertoire, including Pop, Pop-Classical, selections from the Musical Theater Production for Pit Orchestra, and much more. The main focus of our orchestra program is on creating musical friendships, growing as a musician and sight reader, and participating in community-based performances in the winter and spring.

Music House highly recommends that all students in the Music House Orchestra Program are enrolled in Private Lessons.

What to Expect from the Audition

The audition will function like a 15 minute lesson, rather than a test. An audition is a great experience, and preparation for a future of auditions (high school or otherwise!), interviews, performances, and more. We would love to provide our students with the preparation they need to go into (sometimes) scary situations by showing them that an audition doesn't have to be scary- it's just a learning experience!

Orchestra is for intermediate/advanced (Suzuki Book 2 or beyond) students working on note reading (has completed "I Can Read Music: Book 1")! In orchestra class, you’ll hone your note reading and ensemble skills, and learn how to be part of a team.

Skill Requirements for Auditions:

  • Play 3 scales of your choice

  • Perform a piece from Suzuki Book 2 or beyond

  • Complete a simple sight-reading exercise
