Music education provides a wide variety of benefits for children. According to NPR, “the arts help create young adults who have better academic outcomes, are more civically engaged and exhibit higher career goals.” Studies show that music students have higher grades and SAT scores, better critical thinking and spatial reasoning skills, and superior creative thinking compared to kids who are not involved in music. Kids who study music develop valuable self-discipline and teamwork skills that will serve them well in work and school. Music gives kids a unique method of self-expression and emotional fulfillment that can become a life-long passion. Youth Music Project recognizes the importance of music education for all young people and we hope that our music lessons and music classes foster a love and appreciation for music that will last a lifetime.

The Youth Music Project offers classes in group settings as well as private lessons on drums, guitar and piano. Each instrument is taught in a way that empowers the student and ultimately prepares them for their end of the term West Linn music recital. Students are encouraged to not only diligently practice in class, but are also encouraged to practice at home. Students receiving a Youth Music Project scholarship receive free instrument rentals. Students who practice at home are not only more prepared for class, but teach themselves the power of initiative and determination.

The Youth Music Project believes in the importance of music education for all young people and we hope that our music lessons and music classes foster a love and appreciation for music that will last a lifetime.

YMP rock bands cover songs such as “Just What I Needed” by the Cars, “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osborn and “Wild Flower” by the Jane Deer Girls. But covers aren’t all. With help from their band instructor, students can also write their own songs. Students have written songs like “Halloween Party” and “The Fall Song”. Some after only 8 weeks of instruction are able to get up in front of their family and friends and perform an original song on their new instruments. Instructors and staff members at the Youth Music Project are thrilled every time a new student performs confidently.

YMP offers students who enroll in rock band half off a second instrument specific class. Practicing in their band is a great way to foster community and empower YMP students while boosting self-confidence. Also being enrolled in an instrument specific class gives the student time to practice their instrument while also receiving attention to their specific instrument.
