My Nonprofit Reviews

I've been a part of WFCYO for about six years (almost since the organization began), and every year I enjoy it more than the last! WFCYO not only gave me my first real opportunity to play in an orchestra, but it also introduced me to an aspect of music that I have come to love--that is, playing with other musicians. One thing I love about WFCYO is their commitment to diversity. As well as standard classical repetoire, we learn movie scores, traditional and folk music, pop music, and music from cultures around the world. I have also enjoyed the peer-coaching opportunities I gained at WFCYO. Because of the opportunities I had to help younger students at WFCYO, I am considering pursuing a career in music education. But perhaps my favorite thing about WFCYO is the sense of community I've felt over the years of participating in this organization. It's in their name: Wake Forest Community Youth Orchestra. Thank you, WFCYO!
