How to Get In An Orchestra!!!

May 12, 2005 at 01:35 AM · I really need some help on how to get involved in somekind of musical circle. Meaning on really need, and want some extra pressure to keep me realy focussing on improving my ability to play. I'm 17 and my teacher told me about level 3 or 4(whatever that means). I've tried emailing two places I thought would have something for my skill level, but neither wrote back. Is there some trick to getting involved with other people.

I would look for community and youth orchestras. Maybe you can find other people to form a chamber group. Have fun exploring!
