“Music is a very good way of learning more about yourself and what you can achieve as a person. OrKidstra is an amazing program, and I’m grateful to be a part of it.” – Andrew, age 13, trumpet

Gift the gift of music and joyful growth!

Music helps kids unlock their potential. But not every child gets this opportunity. Your gift to OrKidstra helps kids from equity-deserving communities reach for success through free access to instruments and music lessons!

Thank you for your interest in OrKidstra.

Due to our limited number of spots available, we are currently only enrolling students who were 5 years or older as of June 1, 2025 (born before June 1, 2020). We can see that your child is currently too young, and therefore we are unable to offer you a spot in the program at this time.

We encourage you to reach out again in June 2026, once your child is within the accepted age range of 5-18 years old. If you have any further questions, please email us at programadmin@orkidstra.ca and we will be happy to connect with you.

Many thanks for your inquiry, and we wish you all the best!
