Review for Metropolitan Youth Symphony, Mesa, AZ, USA
I participated in MYS when I was a kid, and now I'm an orchestra teacher recommending kids to MYS. During my time in MYS I attended music camp, made great friends, learned about priorities (I had to skip trick or treating in order to make rehearsal one year...tough choice for a kid!) and learned about hard work and dedication. I also of course got to play some amazing music with outstanding musicians and conductors. I was recently asked to identify the when I really fell in love with music, and it hit me that MYS fueled my passion for music more than anything else. MYS is dedicated to kids and works to ensure that EVERY child who wants to participate can. The passion for kids and music is obvious, and the tireless work they do to ensure that kids are getting everything they need is impressive. I am so happy that I now have my own students experiencing the awesomeness of this organization.
