WE BELIEVE…

Youth Music Project (YMP) is a band of inspired, engaged and encouraging educators, musicians, administrators, board members and volunteers who believe that every student deserves access to exceptional music education, regardless of family income level. YMP provides music instruction to hundreds of children every week via year-round after-school group classes, private lessons, early childhood classes, field trips, partnerships, and summer camps. Since our inception, nearly 40% of our enrollments have been made possible thanks to our donor supported tuition assistance fund, providing access to hundreds of children and families each year who otherwise could not afford it.
