YCMD is a youth-led club that aims to connect intermediate to high-level musicians across the private schools of Dallas through music. While incorporating community service, we strive to provide a year-round opportunity for high school students to practice and perform chamber music of any level.
Chamber music hones important skills for any musician, whether they are solely an ensemble player, a soloist, or anything in between. Chamber music forces musicians to communicate with and watch their group members while also performing a part on their own. Oftentimes, leadership is another skill that musicians must practice, whether in starting together, recognizing entrances, or demonstrating changes in dynamic and tempo.
