Tacoma Youth Symphony Association

Through music education, TYSA empowers young people to seek intellectual growth, to explore creative pathways, to appreciate cultural diversity, and to experience the joy of being part of a team while becoming engaged citizens and reaching their greatest musical potential.

TYSA works towards a future where everyone has access to affordable, inclusive, and transformative music experiences, where music education is a vital part of every student’s education and personal growth, and where young musicians have the support they need to succeed in becoming the best versions of themselves artistically and beyond. In creating partnerships with schools, arts organizations, and community groups, TYSA will reduce barriers by bringing the joy of music directly into neighborhoods, allowing TYSA to connect with learners of all ages and abilities.
