Testimonials
“As an instrumental music teacher with 25 years of band experience and absolutely no background in music production, I found the YPG curriculum to be the perfect fit to start a new music course at my school. The curriculum is very user friendly, logically chronological, and contains everything you will need for class instruction, project assignments, and assessments. After four years of teaching the Music Production 1 curriculum, this is now one of my favorite classes and one of the most popular courses at our high school."
- Ben Baldwin, Band Director at Holly High School
“Young Producers Group has completely changed the way I teach Music Production for the better. What seemed like a daunting task was made so easy and accessible for me and my students. Their videos and projects are so helpful and tailored to the needs of young artists. Their PD is incredible with flexible scheduling, workshops and observations offered, and one-on-one time you can schedule at your leisure. Representatives also come out to give feedback to students and get them involved in the YPG community which includes beat battles and more opportunities. I can't imagine trying to teach Music Production without YPG, it has been such a blessing and saved me so much time. Their curriculum is not just assignments , but a curated culture. I cannot recommend them enough!”
- Kaitlin Pi, Choir Director at Saugus High School
“As a district arts administrator, I am thrilled to share my experience working with Young Producers Group. Their digital music production curriculum is exceptional, offering an excellent balance of theory and practical skills that is easy to follow for both experienced and inexperienced music teachers. The YPG team goes above and beyond to ensure that teachers are supported, even across larger districts like PVUSD.
What stands out most is their responsiveness and dedication to the individual needs of educators. They provide a personal touch through classroom visits and professional development sessions, creating an environment where teachers feel truly supported. Their quick response time and creative ideas make it easy to collaborate with them and implement innovative music programs.”
