Welcome to YPI!

Our mission is to create a sense of community among the music students of the world; to provide for all students, regardless of their economic status, the very best instruction in music; and, through this, to foster in each student self-confidence, competence, fulfillment, and an open heart.

Young Performers International is a nonprofit children's performing arts company providing music classes, lessons, and music camps throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We believe that making music should be fun. We believe that expressing oneself through the performing arts is a natural component of childhood and should be accessible to all.

    “We begin by engaging the child in activities in which they are most comfortable expressing themselves such as: singing, playing an instrument, dancing or acting. As the child gains confidence and competence with their chosen form of expression, through dedicated instruction, their knowledge deepens and their ability to express themselves artistically flourishes.”
