Located in Irvine California, MSYAP is a comprehensive supporting experience in music that offers chamber music (14 sessions), 8 performance classes, 3 master-classes with significant guest artists, and numerous performance opportunities. Open by audition to a maximum of 25 students; violin, viola, cello, and piano, MSYAP seeks to augment the musical education of young musicians beyond weekly private lessons, running for an eight month-period throughout the academic school year. Students from any studio are encouraged to apply with the full knowledge that MSYAP enhances, and does not replace, their current private instruction.

	MASTER CLASSES allow participants to perform for major teachers from around the US. As participants of the program are preparing for entrance into these high level programs, receiving instruction from these teachers is truly necessary towards achieving these goals.
	PERFORMANCE CLASSES give the students a place to try out new repertory in an environment that they will receive comments from other participants in the program. As these are not concerts, the venue allows for a place to discover what needs work from a performance standpoint.
	CHAMBER MUSIC with strings and/or piano is available. 14 coaching sessions will be made available to participants with as well the ability to participate in all performance classes, master-classes and any other concert events.
	SHOWCASE CONCERTS provide a challenging venue for participants to perform works that they have prepared at the highest of levels. This year these concerts will be held at important sites throughout Orange County.
	CONCERTO READINGS with string quintet and woodwind quintet will occur throughout the year. The ensemble is under the direction of William Fitzpatrick.
	REHEARSALS WITH PIANO with Lisa Maresch. These Friday evening, 2 times a month, rehearsals are to prepare repertoire for all events.
