Summer Opportunities
A list of summer YC teachers will be available on the YC website every March. Parents can contact teachers directly to schedule lessons. Lessons are on campus and tuition is paid directly to YC directly. Another summer event, the Summer Piano Festival, is a week-long resident program for high-school students with lessons, master-classes, ensembles, outdoor excursions, performances, and an optional competition with cash awards.
