Your voice matters. In Choir, middle schoolers develop vocal technique, music literacy, and ensemble skills while exploring repertoire that challenges and inspires them. They learn to listen, blend, and harmonize, building teamwork and discipline with every rehearsal. It’s where confidence grows and friendships are made through the power of singing together.

Take center stage. In Musical, young performers bring characters to life through song, movement, and acting. They learn to project, express, and connect with an audience, all while working as an ensemble to create a full production. It’s where confidence, creativity, and collaboration come together.

Trade scrolling for storytelling. Using just a smartphone (or any camera), middle schoolers in Videomaking & Photography Lab learn to compose, capture, and edit their own visual stories. They explore photography, then move into filmmaking, crafting videos from storyboard to final edit. At the YCM Premiere, their work takes center stage with a photo exhibition and a film screening for family and friends.
