Your Music Bus is a service-oriented ensemble of flexible size and instrumentation that comes through town on dedicated student readings tours. A visit from Your Music Bus can be as simple as a coaching session with a professional mentor for a student ensemble as they read student works, or it can be a full residency including a sinfonietta-size ensemble reading and recording session, with conductor and composer mentors and master classes, at the host school. The main criterion is that the activities of the Your Music Bus ensemble center exclusively around music written by students.
