Review for Midwest Young Artists Conservatory, Highwood, IL, USA
My three children have participated in Midwest Young Artists in its excellent orchestral and chamber programs. The nurturing atmosphere at MYA is truly remarkable. In my experience, other youth music organizations often bring out the worst aspects of musical competition in young people. MYA has provided a magical oasis for each of them to freely express their love of music and musical performance with peers who share those same passions. They have all developed strong friendships and memories at MYA. Dr. Dennis and the other faculty members inspire all of the young musicians to do their very best while minimizing feelings of internal competition, resulting in a safe, warm place for these young people to grow musically and to grow as young adults. Bravo!
