I have been a member of MYO for the past five years.  Currently, I am a senior in High School.  With MYO I am playing cello in Chamber Orchestra.  One of the reasons that my love of music has grown so much in the past five years is my membership in MYO. My experience with MYO is one of the major factors in my decision to continue music studies in college and to major in Music Education.  I have auditioned at a number of schools and I recently heard that I have been accepted to my first choice college, Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam.

I am so happy that I have been accepted at Crane and so happy with my years at MYO.  I have enclosed a small donation to you. It's not that much but it represents one week's salary from my part-time job.  Thank you, again.
