About This Cause

Young Musicians of Alamance (YMA) is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that offers instrumental and general music education to elementary, middle, and high school students. We offer general music, string lessons (violin, viola, cello, bass), wind band (flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone), modern band (ukulele, bass, keyboard, drums), bucket drumming, small group classes (piano, ukulele, guitar, percussion) song, and movement activities for all levels of players. YMA follows the philosophy of El Sistema, which focuses on developing each child's sense of social-emotional learning, musicianship, and sense of community inclusion. The majority of our students attend schools where 85% or more students qualify for free lunch. Students who qualify for free or reduced lunch receive free music lessons. If a student is not on free or reduced lunch, they may participate in the program for a small fee. Lessons occur after school and Saturdays and are led by experienced music educators. Instruments are loaned to students throughout the school year. Students receive four to six hours of instruction during the week. They also receive healthy after-school snacks and a hot, healthy lunch on Saturdays.
