Young Musicians Chorus especially caters to those who are training on instruments
We create and cater to young musicians!
Come see what happens when fun and sophistication combine! From kids just learning to sing, to those supporting our vocal endeavors with jaw-dropping instrumentals, we enjoy and develop the skills each singer brings to our choral ensembles.
This is a chorus for those who take an intrinsic delight in music. If your son or daughter would like a high-quality, serious choral experience in a joyful, not-so-serious atmosphere, we welcome them!
Young Musicians Chorus is incredibly rewarding. Read our reviews to find out why!

How much does it cost?
It depends on the chorus level, but ranges from $295 - $570 / semester*, with no hidden fees. YMC strives to provide serious, high-caliber musical training in a warm, casual atmosphere, while keeping total costs remarkably accessible.
When comparing local choirs, consider their musical strength, atmosphere, and total expenses (not just tuition).
* and we have financial aid for those who could still use a hand
