This paper presents the findings from a 2018 survey ofTYO participants, as one part of a broader qualitative pilot project into the perceived benefits of participation inTYO.  \nUsing inductive thematic analysis techniques researchers identified the following four themes from these data, which, in order of significance, are that participation in their TYO group: 1) was strongly identified as an embodied and emotional experience; 2) enables the development of specific, identified musical skills; 3) contributes to the making of, and maintenance of, important friendships; and 4) results in the development of non-musical skills such as personal organisation and learned social skills. The research team also found that many respondents demonstrated “growth mindset” thinking (Dweck, 2006) and resilient behaviours, perhaps indicating that there may be something in their experience that enables them to employ these characteristics in their learning inTYO groups. Funding has been provided to extend this research beyond the pilot stage to develop research informed resources to support learning and teaching for resilience in youth Arts organisations.  \nKeywords: Youth music; group music; ensemble; learning through music; growth  \nIntroduction  \nFollowing the success of youth orchestra programs such as El Sistema, founded by José Antonio Abreu in Venezuela in 1975, research into the social and other benefits of participation in youth orchestras has increased (see for example: Barrett & Smigiel, 2007; Fairbanks, 2016; Glasgow Centre for Population Health, 2015; Hewitt & Allan, 2012; Hopkins, Provenzano & Spencer, 2016; Power & Powell, 2016). El Sistema programs have had lifealtering effects on many young people worldwide (Holochwost, Palmer Wolf & Hill Bose, 2017; Majno, 2012; Tunstall & Booth, 2016), providing musical and non-musical skills leading to increased  \nopportunities in later life; although a different narrative is now emerging about this approach (see for example: Baker & Frega, 2018; Bergman, Lindgren & Saether, 2016). Whilst Australia does not have a formal El Sistema program, it has a history of youth orchestras dating back to the 1950s (Australian Youth Orchestra debuted in 1957), although research into the social and other benefits of participation in these orchestras has been limited. In addition, some Australian researchers have investigated El-Sistema ‘inspired’programs (see for example: Osborne, McPherson, Faulkner, Davidson & Barrett, 2016; Power & Powell, 2016). This article reports the findings of a  \nAustralian Journal of Music Education 3  \n2018 pilot study of participants in the Tasmanian Youth Orchestra (TYO) and their perceptions of the benefits of their participation. Initial findings from this pilot study indicate that participants perceived four main areas of benefit through their musical engagement: 1) an embodied and emotional experience, 2) orchestral/musical skill development, 3) friendship, and 4) non-musical skill development.  \nFormed in 1965, the TYO is the oldest state youth orchestra in Australia, with the Queensland Youth Orchestra following in 1966 (Collett, 2007). In recent years TYO has received funding increases from the Tasmanian Department of Education and Arts Tasmania that have enabled structural and organisational evolution including the employment of professional staff, and the expansion of its program","cbCaist2dsCiPWRs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaist2dsCiPWRs","pdf",136508,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Literature","[{\"question\":\"What does the pilot study investigate about the Tasmanian Youth Orchestra (TYO)?\",\"answer\":\"It examines participants’ perceptions of the benefits of youth orchestra participation, based on a 2018 survey conducted as part of a broader qualitative pilot project.\"},{\"question\":\"What four main benefit areas did researchers identify from the survey data?\",\"answer\":\"The study identified four areas: embodied and emotional experience, orchestral and musical skill development, friendship formation, and non-musical skill development.\"},{\"question\":\"What additional psychological or behavioral factors did the researchers observe among respondents?\",\"answer\":\"Many respondents showed “growth mindset” thinking and resilient behaviours, suggesting the TYO experience may support these characteristics in learning.\"}]","Youth orchestra participation and perceived benefit - A pilot study of the Tasmanian Youth Orchestra | PDF",1792078192,35]
