Youth Conservatory Holds Registration at Utah State University

Utah State University's nationally accredited Youth Conservatory (YC) is celebrating 25 years serving young pianists in Cache Valley and announces its fall registration for new and returning students. A registration open house is Tuesday, Aug. 5.

"The Youth Conservatory was founded by Utah State's internationally known professor Gary Amano to offer comprehensive piano instruction to young people and practicum experience to USU piano majors," said YC program coordinator Brooke Reynolds. "The Youth Conservatory has instructed thousands of piano students since its inception in 1978."

Parents interested in more information about the YC can attend a 30-minute program orientation, Tuesday, Aug. 5, which will begin in the Kent Concert Hall lobby area. Parents can also call the YC office for information. Registration is most easily completed during the registration open house Aug. 5 from 6–7 p.m. in the lobby (students should accompany parents to registration for placement testing). However, registration may also be completed over the phone or by mail. There is limited space and YC classes and lessons are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so interested families are encouraged to attend the registration on Aug. 5 to ensure a spot for fall semester. Last year the YC did fill all private lesson spots and kept a waiting list for several weeks, Reynolds said.

A second registration will be held Tuesday, Aug. 26, from 6–7 p.m. in the Kent Concert Hall lobby if there are still spots available. For more information, call the YC office at (435) 797-3018.Utah State University's nationally accredited Youth Conservatory (YC) is celebrating 25 years serving young pianists in Cache Valley and announces its fall registration for new and returning students.
