Omaha Area Youth Orchestras Student Story: Katherine Bourn
"OAYO has changed the way I view my instrument and view others."
Katherine's story is one of hope, resilience, personal pride and achievement - made possible through OAYO scholarships.
We know that music education teaches diligence and discipline in the pursuit of musicianship, but it also leads to so much more! In addition to practicing and performing music, OAYO students build strong friendships and gain confidence, focus and leadership abilities.
Still, many OAYO families cannot contribute financially to their child's ensemble music education, or any activity outside of school. For students like Katherine, OAYO scholarships are crucial.
OAYO does not prevent any student from participating due to financial barriers. Donations to OAYO's fund help ensure OAYO is an experience that is available to all!
We are happy to accept donations for the Omaha Area Youth Orchestra program.
