Where does my child fit in?
FAYM is open to all students and is primarily focused on students from Title I schools. We start new to violin and cello students as early as 1st grade but require students to be in elementary school to start as a beginner. All other classes are ability based and students will be placed on their playing, reading, and musical abilities.
