With support from the California Arts Council, SAN DIEGO YOUTH SYMPHONY AND CONSERVATORY will hire a consultant to add a component to our student data base system to manage our inventory of over 1,000 musical instruments.
Celebrating 80 years in 2024-25, KeyNote/SDYS is San Diego’s comprehensive provider of cradle-to-college music education opportunities through: Our flagship ensemble program, housed in San Diego’s historic Balboa Park, features thirteen orchestras and bands for musicians of all levels and provides additional depth through chamber music, theory, composition, second instrument camps, and summer opportunities. KeyNote’s Community Opus Project has partnered with Chula Vista Elementary School District for more than ten years to restore music education programs to more than forty schools and is a national model for community engagement through music education. Lastly, KeyNote’s early childhood program, Chimes, works with infants, toddlers, and their families to promote creative youth development, pre-literacy, and school readiness through music education and pre-ensemble training.
