CONNECT

Music education is an exercise in patience, discipline, and perseverance. YMU does not take a microwave approach to learn a musical instrument, and just like sports, it will take effort. The YMU Advantage provides our students with the tools and resources that support YMU's five foundational elements: Learn, Explore, Create, Share and Connect.  These elements shape the culture of YMU as our students develop a firm musical foundation that will last a lifetime. This is The YMU Advantage!
