a nurturing community committed
to providing high-quality music lessons
to children in Evanston regardless of
family background
EYA was founded in 2018 by a group of music students in Northwestern University's Bienen School of Music. Our mission is to make learning music accessible to every child in Evanston, increasing value and interest in music education within our community. EYA strives to help further diversify music institutions and performing ensembles across the nation.
Students enrolled in the program receive weekly private lessons and group classes. EYA meets on Saturday afternoons from October to May on Northwestern's Evanston campus.
