HOW TO JOIN ONE OF PYPO’S ENSEMBLES

Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced Ensembles

PYPO has ensembles to meet and challenge students at every level.

Building leadership skills

PYPO students return each week to their schools being leaders, mentors and guides for other budding musicians.

Cultivating Creativity

A PYPO education is not necessarily training just for a musical career–it is training for a creative life.

Our staff is committed to challenging each musician, nurturing each person and exploring the humanity behind the art.  At PYPO we cling to the idea that personal expression transcends music, because a PYPO education is not necessarily training just for a musical career-it is training for a creative life.
