Homeschooler performing in Roberts Symphony Orchestra

Homeschooler Connection

RWU Music is thrilled to offer Rochester-area homeschoolers the opportunity to participate in some of our ten ensembles and over sixty concerts and recitals a year.

If your application is approved, you will be invited to audition. Your audition will consist of one piece of your choosing, that showcases your skills, played for the ensemble director. Ensemble directors may choose to instead invite you to take part in a rehearsal as your audition.

Note: Ensembles are free to join. College credit for participation is not offered at this time.
