The Mt. Baker Youth Symphony's staff consists of professional musicians and music teachers from the Puget Sound region. Sharyn Peterson, our Music Director, works with an active coaching staff for strings, winds, brass and percussion.
Sectional coaches in all groups allow for direct coaching and training in orchestral technique.
We also provide a few of our Youth Symphony students with the opportunity to coach members of the orchestra group, which enhances the direct training of the younger members while providing valuable teaching experience for the older students.
