With a mission of enriching lives through music for young people and their families, and serving communities throughout the North Texas area, CTYO is neither an alternative to nor a substitute for school music programs. CTYO expects that student participants will be enrolled in the appropriate and applicable music and arts programs in their schools. Also, students participating in CTYO orchestras are expected to study with a private teacher on their instrument.
