Ending the season with a "bang" is the MAYO Jazz Combo performing a family-friendly hour-long session to celebrate National Jazz Month at the Ivy Tech Waldron Arts Center Auditorium on Monday, April 30 from 7-8 pm.

MAYO performed two preview concerts with an educational focus at the Monroe County Public Library in February and in April.  Both preview concerts allowed children of all ages to experience music first hand by holding a violin or electric guitar.  This program will continue in 2012-13.

Children at the Boys & Girls Clubs in Ellettsville and Bloomington received lessons and classes in violin and beginner jazz.  These programs were well attended and held in both the fall and spring.  Well done girls and boys!  We hope to see you in the MAYO ranks soon.]]>Wed, 19 Oct 2011 07:37:48 -0800http://www.mayomusic.org/3/post/2011/10/mayo-announces-annual-concerto-competition.htmlThe annual concerto competition will be held on Saturday, November 12th at 2 pm at Indiana University.  Any young musicians is invited to try out!  The winner(s) will perform with the MAYO Symphony at the February and/or May concerts.  More information can be found on our website here. ]]>Wed, 14 Sep 2011 09:23:43 -0800http://www.mayomusic.org/3/post/2011/09/mayo-announces-partnership-with-boys-girls-club.htmlThe Boys & Girls Club of Bloomington and Ellettsville and the Musical Arts Youth Orchestra announce a unique partnership for the 2011-12 season.

This year, we will hold auditions in Bedford, Bloomington, Monrovia and Terre Haute.  Auditions will determine your seat and section in one of three ensembles (and in some cases, more than one ensemble) - Concertina, Symphony, and Sinfonia (by invitation only).

What can you do to be prepared?

Check out the excerpts section of Seating Auditions to find out what you can practice.  Also, prepare some scales and your favorite solo or contrasting sections of two solos.  You only have 10 minutes in an audition, so be prepared to only play a section of your piece.

Bloomington auditions will be held in MA107 - thanks to Professor Edmund Cord.  Practice rooms will be nearby!

Online auditions are available - and this year, we also are offering the opportunity to review your current registration data so you don't have to fill out so many forms!

Look for a Welcome Letter soon with new and important information.  ]]>Mon, 16 Aug 2010 20:13:02 -0800http://www.mayomusic.org/3/post/2010/08/target-season-sponsor.htmlTarget announces a $2,000 grant to support the 2010-2011 Season for the Musical Arts Youth Orchestra.  Target is a great supporter of youth education & school programs.  Please help MAYO thank Target!]]>
