THE TYOC ORGANIZATION

endeavors to provide a quality education from top music educators

from across our state. We enable Texas students to reach across

international borders to further their own study of music and learn

about the cultures of Europe.

TO SEE, TO LEARN, TO PERFORM

…to experience

OUR VISION

Music is the universal language. It crosses

international borders, unifies cultures, uplifts the

spirit, and conveys so much, with so little. The

discovery of new countries, cultures, languages,

and friends broadens our knowledge and furthers

our understanding of our world.

The TYOC directors have a wealth of music education, expertise, and enthusiasm, but no amount

of accolades, trophies, and competitions can compare with the opportunity to perform and tour

throughout Europe. Each of the directors had an inspiring, life-changing opportunity in their

youth, which instilled in them a passion to learn more about their craft, and to convey their love

and joy for music and travel.
