New Standards of Excellence for Music Lessons in the Lehigh Valley

Lehigh Valley music lesson students who would like to excel on their instruments thrive in the environment of Youniversity of Music and Arts.  Our music lesson teachers have been carefully interviewed and hand-picked to provide you with an outstanding educational value at affordable cost.  Once appointed, music lesson instructors at The YOU are mentored, supervised, and evaluated on an ongoing basis to ensure consistently high educational standards across the lesson program.

Teaching Philosophy: It's All About You!

To meet the individual needs of Lehigh Valley music lesson students, our teaching approaches are highly personalized from the time of enrollment.  The YOU in Bethlehem offers music lessons for all ages--music lessons for children and teenagers, and adult music lessons--and all levels of ability--beginner lessons, intermediate and advanced music lessons, and professional-level lessons.  Whatever your aspirations, The YOU will help you reach your full potential by matching you with the most suitable faculty member.  Moreover, we have designed four different Levels of Study to help you find your place and shape your future in music.

Structured Curriculum and Yearly Student Assessments as Key to Success

To succeed in lessons, it is important to pursue a systematic path with clearly defined goals along the way.  We therefore strongly encourage students and teachers to follow The Royal Conservatory Music Development Program. Created by Toronto's Royal Conservatory of Music, The Music Development Program features a systematic, progressively sequenced music curriculum that leads students from their very beginnings to professional-level accomplishments.  The Music Development Program is expected to set the standards for music training, teaching, and performance in music schools across the U.S. 

For the Advanced and Ambitious

Students aiming for a professional career in performance benefit from our guidance in:

• Recital preparation

• Audition preparation (college; role; orchestra; etc.)

• Music Competition preparation

Performance Opportunities

For students in the performing arts, it is critical to have regular opportunities to perform in public.  Not only do these performances represent important milestones and learning goals, but they provide a special and unique experience--a thrill, indeed--that is quite unlike playing the instrument for daily practice.  Students learn what it is like to be a performer only by performing themselves!  Therefore, The YOU offers regular student recitals.  Participation is strongly encouraged though not required.
