Thank you for a great first rehearsal! If it is any indication of the
good things to come, then I am very excited for our future as an
ensemble. Your rehearsal etiquette was outstanding and we were able to
get so much accomplished. Be sure to check this blog each week. Though
it is not intended to replace your taking good notes and marking your
music during rehearsal, it is a resource to remind yourselves what we
did, and need to do before the next rehearsal.
This week as you practice, familiarize yourself with the counting of the
rhythms and "road maps" of each piece. Pay particular attention to your
posture as you practice. It will not only help us look our best, but
you will sound better as well.
Musically Yours,
Mrs. Kubota

The Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra has continually offered robust musical training and personal development for young musicians throughout the San Gabriel Valley for over 40 years (1972). PYSO is considered among the best youth orchestras in the Southland. The PYSO is comprised of middle school students from grades six through nine. These committed young people receive advanced instruction and challenging music opportunities through a rigorous program that emphasizes ensemble playing. Members of the PYSO have performed throughout the world, including venues in Vienna, New York’s Carnegie Hall, the ASTA Conference and Competition in Santa Clara and many others. Last season, the PYSO appeared in concert with the United States Air Force Academy Band, Blue Steel at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. Members of PYSO have also had many opportunities for additional performances outside the full orchestra program such chamber music at Pasadena Symphony concerts and a special guest appearance on Fox’s TV sensation, Glee. PYSO falls under the auspices of the Pasadena Symphony Association and often interacts with Pasadena Symphony and POPS conductors, guest artists, musicians and staff.
