Where to Play and Sing, Part V: Youth Groups

As we're wrapping up our celebration of Music in Our Schools Month, here is one more entry in our guide to community music groups. 

 

Although I started this series of posts thinking of adult musicians who wished to get back into playing and singing (or start something new), we had a few requests to list opportunities for students. 

 

While some of the groups listed in the previous posts (orchestras, bands, choirs, others) welcome younger musicians, these are some opportunities specifically for youth musicians. As always – let me know if I missed something!
