The Young People’s
String Program (YPSP)
(Ages 5 or older)
Janet Melnicoff-Brown and Andréa Picard Boecker,
Directors
Bai-Chi Chen, YPSP Cello Coordinator
Rachel Mangold, YPSP Double Bass Coordinator
The Young People’s String Program (YPSP) is a creative
blend of Suzuki philosophy, Paul Rolland’s approach
to movement in string playing, and traditional string
pedagogy. Dr. Shinichi Suzuki’s philosophy embraces the
idea that all children are born with musical ability that can
be nurtured at an early age through their environment,
listening, imitation, and by working closely with a parent
at home. Paul Rolland’s work focuses on relaxation and
freedom of movement in string playing. Traditional string
pedagogy enhances these approaches by incorporating
the development of technique and musicianship through
scales, etudes, music reading, and a variety of repertoire.
Our faculty members bring their own experiences to the
program as they work together in creating a solid foundation
and inspiring environment for our young string
players. For more information on the YPSP, please call the
Preparatory Office at 410-234-4630 and request a copy
of the YPSP Guidelines or visit our website. YPSP students
attend individual instruction and a group lesson each
week. Parent participation is required.
The total tuition per semester for The Young People's
String Program is based on the cost of individual instruction
and the tuition cost for the assigned YPSP Group. An
additional $10 non-refundable activities fee per year will
automatically be charged with registration.
