Youth Music Monterey County: Home

I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.
Billy Joel




Group Lessons

Orchestra in the Schools-All Saints' Day School Location (Carmel)
“Outstanding Small Group Instruction and Large Group Performance Opportunities"

All Saints’ is proud to host the Orchestra in the Schools (OITS) program every Monday after school. Orchestra in the Schools provides students from throughout Monterey County an opportunity to learn an instrument, be a part of an orchestra, and perform with students from other schools. Orchestra in the Schools is known for its outstanding small group instrumental instruction, and students, parents, and lovers of music always look forward to the two concerts performed annually in Coats Hall at All Saints’ a Christmas concert during the first week of December and a spring concert in May.

OITS makes instrumental music available to all interested students from Monterey Bay Area public, independent, and home schools. No auditions are needed for 4th through 8th graders. Younger students are admitted at the discretion of the Music Director, Jim Paoletti. Classes are held on Mondays during the school year from 4:00 - 6:15 pm at All Saints’ Day School.

For more information, please contact Catherine Anderson, Program Director, at canderson @ asds.org  or 831.624.9171 x.40
