South Pasadena Children's Orchestra

South Pasadena Children's Orchestra (SPCO) is considered one of the finest Children's Orchestra's in the world. In addition to winning top honors at prestigious regional and national competitions, they have been featured on local and national television and have appeared in numerous publications. In 2009 the orchestra won the World Record for the youngest orchestra ever recorded to perform at Carnegie Hall.

Susan Pascale, Director, attributes the success of the orchestra to the program's motivating teaching style as well as emphasis on good form and quality instruction from an early age. Many of the orchestra members started with the Strings Program as young as 4 years old using her Pascale Method™.
