Dorset Youth Jazz Orchestra (DYJO) is an intermediate to advanced youth jazz orchestra led by renowned local jazz musician Terry Quinney. The group rehearses monthly and enjoys regular performances with stars of the UK jazz scene such as Mark Nightingale, Emma Rawicz and Eddie Gripper. 

DYJO is aimed at young musicians who have progressed well beyond the beginner stages. They should be able to play their instrument confidently and be able to sight-read written notation. For those musicians who are working through grades, we would suggest they are of approximately Grade 4 standard and above, but this is only a guide.
