The Coaches of the National Youth Orchestra
The National Youth Orchestra is fortunate to be able to profit from the skills of a large group of instrumental teachers who, in intensive group and private lessons, work with the young musicians to prepare the works performed during each work period. Many are former members of the orchestra who have gone on to become professional musicians or teachers in Germany’s leading orchestras and educational institutions.
