Music for Canberra's second most senior orchestra for young musicians.
Saturday 9:00am - 12:00pm with Joseph Chan.

Named after one of the original founding members of Canberra Youth Music, passionate musician James ‘Jim’ McCusker, the James McCusker Orchestra (JMO) is our second orchestra in the performance pathway.

Through its rehearsal and performance of selectively curated repertoire, the James McCusker Orchestra provides an ideal environment for young players to gain exposure to the fundamentals of orchestral ensemble playing.

The approximate standard of JMO is AMEB 5-7 or equivalent. Participants of the James McCusker Orchestra are expected to be taking additional individual instrumental tuition in addition to the orchestra.

Music For Canberra believes strongly in the importance of performance in improving the self-confidence and musical ability of students of all ages.
