Music is available in four levels. All parts have been designed to work together to enable mixed-ability groups to perform together. The initial music that will be sent to you is based on the school grade level you select for your child. If the music is too hard/easy, please let us know and we will send you another set. 

Level 1-Beginner/pre-Grade 1-
For students with 1-2 years of instruction. These are our simplest parts.
Level 2- Intermediate/Grade 1-3-
For students with 3-4 years of instruction. This is music in the middle school range.
Level 3- Grade 4-5-
For students with 4+ years of instruction. These parts are close to the original but are simplified for technique and some range considerations.
Level 4- The original parts played by the HSO.
These are the composers original composition. These are for advanced high school players.

HSO KIDS is open to ALL students with at least one year of instrumental music instruction. Students learn music appropriate for their grade level with their school and/or private lesson music teacher. HSO Kids then attend a special rehearsal clinic with master teachers before working alongside the HSO to put the finishing touches on their music. Later in the evening, the HSO Kids perform with the HSO during their spring concert performance!
