The Utah Youth Junior Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Dan Rich, provides a comprehensive ensemble experience for intermediate symphony players. Musicians accepted to UYJSO generally have intermediate experience with their instruments and must be members of their school bands or orchestras (where available) and study their instruments with private teachers. Literature is selected to broaden repertoire and learn more advanced techniques while following a conductor. A heavy emphasis is placed on sight-reading, enabling members to experience a large volume of repertoire while learning to follow a conductor. Student musicians learn listening to and understanding the different sounds and colors of each instrument, as well as how the colors of their own instruments fit together in the whole and how to foster ensemble musicianship. Orchestral intonation is also covered. Students learn to work through difficult passages and deal with challenges specific to their instruments.
