About Y.E.S.
Sponsored by the Silicon Valley Chapter of the American Harp Society and founded in Jan. 2014, the purpose of the Silicon Valley Youth Harp Ensemble Success Program (also known as Y.E.S.) is to provide a friendly and musically fun social environment that entices students to learn and share together. Playing in a group inspires students to continue their involvement with music. The Y.E.S. Program is designed to provide sequential and practical goals for students to develop performance skills and music appreciation. The curriculum will also help improve technical development such as ear training, sight-reading skills, music theory, and music history. This is an educational program to encourage students to strive for collaboration with one another and musical excellence.
