Educational Programs

Music education is a key component in securing the future of our orchestra and our community. The value that music education provides to the growth and vibrancy of our community is essential to our collective future. At the QCSO we offer many programs that support this vision “in-house”, in classrooms, and across the community making them accessible for students and individuals throughout the Quad Cities.

 

Youth Ensembles

 The QCSYE consists of four performance groups
for students in grades three through twelve.

 

 

School Programs

QCSO programs developed in collaboration with Quad City schools, provide great opportunities for students to interact with professional musicians.

 

 

Music Teacher Award

We invite you to nominate an outstanding music teacher in your district to recognize their accomplishments in their school general music, orchestra, band, choir, or other music class.
