The Youth Music Project opened its doors to the surrounding West Linn community two years ago with a mission to “provide outstanding rock, pop, and country music education for youth by offering free or low cost lessons, free instrument use, and exceptional performance opportunities.” This summer the organization transitioned to a bigger space less than a ½ mile from the original building in the Willamette area of West Linn.

This past Saturday the YMP celebrated their new chapter by hosting a grand opening party complete with student recitals, retail for sale, and an after party concert. The atmosphere of the YMP is warm and inviting, so much so that the moment children and parents walk through the door it is evident that the staff has a calling for teaching music.

If you are thinking of enrolling your kids in music lessons, and also want to support the local community call the YMP main number for more information: 503-616-5967.
