May Department Groups
  • Violin Group 9:00 AM Saturday, May 7 in Wexford
  • Cello Group 12:00 PM Saturday, May 14 in Wexford
  • Guitar Group 9:00 AM Saturday, May 21 in Wexford
  • Voice Group 11:00 AM Saturday, May 21 in Sewickley
  • Piano Group 9:00 AM Saturday, May 28 in Sewickley
Department Groups are very important! Plan to attend.

Monthly department groups are a meeting of each instrument’s full department- cello, piano, violin and viola, guitar, and voice. During the 45-60 minute group class, students may learn from a different teacher than their lesson instructor, focus on instrument or voice specific music literacy or technique goals. Examples of this could be things like musicality and phrasing, tempo, or stage presence. The class is also an excellent opportunity for students to perform their pieces for one another in a repertory class style. Sometimes department groups may work in conjunction with a master class, workshop or activity, or special performance, such as a spot on the Saturday Light Brigade Radio program or opening for a PSO concert.


Participation in department group is for everyone!

Please plan to attend this enriching part of your musical education at CYM.
