The Johannesburg Youth Orchestra Company (JYOC) provides a unique opportunity for individual and group music training for young aspiring musicians.
Children and youth from any community are welcome to audition for placement in one of eight graded orchestras, from a full symphonic orchestra to the Jazz programme.
Drawing from diverse communities in Gauteng, we are able to offer orchestral training at a very high standard.
The orchestras perform over forty public concerts annually, attracting wide media coverage. Music of all genres is learned and performed, from jazz to classical.
Expert individual instrumental tuition is offered from Grade 1 to Licentiate level.
The JYOC also mentors and trains student teachers, offering music skills development, instrument repair/making workshops and creating employment opportunities for young adult musicians.
