YOPW Sprouts
A New Approach to Early Childhood Music Education
Children who develop a relationship with music early in their lives don't just have an expressive outlet, they have stronger language skills than their peers, their hand-eye coordination is improved, and they have great problem solving and executive functioning skills.
The YOPW Sprouts program introduces children as young as three to stringed instrument performance. The aspiring musicians are divided into cohort groups that progress through as many as five Sprouts Levels, one per academic year, before graduating and moving into YOPW’s Junior Varsity and Varsity Orchestras.
What makes YOPW Sprouts special?
* We provide the instruments, instructional class materials, and specially trained faculty.
* The children attend weekly sixty-minute classes with a parent or guardian; musical instruction meets bonding time! Each Sprout Session ends with the teaching staff working with the caregivers so that they can assist their children between Sessions.
* Our focused fundraising means that children accepted into our cohorts participate at little or no cost.
The first Level One YOPW Sprout Session cohorts will begin in the fall of 2023. Applications are being accepted now for children who will be between the ages of three and five on September 1, 2023.
Music for All
YOPW's goal is to make seats in the Sprouts Program and Summer Session available without regard to a student's family's ability to pay. Your gift makes that possible. Thank you for your support.
