Young Artist Seminar (YAS) students receive two 45-minute private lessons
per week on their primary instrument and an optional 30-minute lesson per
week on their secondary instrument for an additional fee. Their studies also
include chamber music, orchestra, studio/performance class, recitals, theory, composition, guest lectures and masterclasses. Students are encouraged to participate in the concerto competition for an opportunity to perform with the orchestra. All students share community service assignments to build relationships and help with the daily running of the
