My daughter has been in the program for the last 6 years and she has grown so much from the program. Playing chamber music in a small group setting has allowed her to learn to collaborate with others while being personally responsible for her own part. She also loves the musical friends she’s made through the process and all the highly professionals she gets to work with!
Junior Chamber Music is an exceptional program that fosters collaboration and growth among young musicians. As both an alumnus and a coach, I have seen firsthand how it has evolved over the decades, continually providing invaluable opportunities for students to connect with like-minded peers. JCM’s unique format not only nurtures ensemble skills but also offers performance opportunities and competitions that enrich the musical journey of its participants. It’s a truly inspiring environment for young musicians to grow artistically and personally.
Learning music through JCM allows students to perform some of the most sublime music ever conceived by the human mind. Long live JCM.

It is a wonderful opportunities for young professionals to make music together. You are making beautiful music, and life time musical friends here! We love to see students grow into a fine musician. It also helps you with organization skills to coodinate with the group. I hope we can spread this wonderful program all over the country.
The opportunities at JCM are endless! In the last five years I've learned so much more and had a much better experience than I could have ever imagined. The different perspectives that we got from our coaches gave me and my groups so much inspiration and gave us the opportunity to develop our own unique interpretations. If you are looking for chamber music opportunities for yourself or a family member, I highly recommend auditioning for JCM!
All three of my daughters have thrived in this program. They made friends and were inspired to work much harder in their music. The prospect of going on tours was such a motivator for them to keep up their instrument. JCM created a community for my daughters that we will cherish forever. So grateful for the program.
