Programs for Young Musicians
Community Music LessonsThe TSO has been providing free music lessons for 16 years, supporting underserved individual young musicians, students in select schools, and residents at the Lucas County Youth Treatment Facility. This program, although in existence for more than a decade, is the TSO’s most under-recognized, yet potentially most valuable community resource. Music In Our SchoolMusic In Our Schools is meant to support music programs in schools, focusing on in-depth, sustained work with student and teachers. This program reflects the deep and sustained mentorship opportunities that the TSO longs to have with students and teachers. The TSO staff’s enthusiasm and sense of connection and commitment to this program is palpable, as the underlying principles of Music In Our Schools closely align with the core values of the organization.
