The 2023-24 After School Program
In this program 3rd-5th graders are taught to play acoustic instruments by ear. They are taught by local musicians to play guitar, fiddle, banjo, or mandolin. Lessons are approximately 45-minute sessions (depending upon the number of students in each class) per week for 20 weeks during the school year. These classes will be held at your school right after the school day ends one day per week. YAM + students may be picked up after their lessons and tutoring session, or they may stay during Homework Center/Afterschool time. Other YAM students will be picked up after their music lessons are completed. The cost of the weekly lesson is based on the lunch status of the child. The instrument rental fee is a flat rate of $10 per month. Please see lesson rates below:
