SYO Prep is designed for primary school aged musicians who play orchestral string instruments right from their first year of playing up until approximately AMEB Grade 2 standard at which point they can then audition for SYO Strings – Stage 1. Musicians must be learning from a private instrumental teacher and have their own instrument.

SYO Prep will incorporate elements of the Orff and Kodaly methodologies alongside targeted age appropriate string ensemble repertoire.

Ensemble placements for SYO Prep is strictly limited and does not require an audition. If you are interested in joining, please complete an Expression of Interest and you will be contacted if an opening becomes available.
