		"My second year at the YCP proved to be even more helpful and enlightening than the first. My dedication to composition as well as the way I approach new compositions changed a lot. The program creates a priceless community of peers for us to communicate with as well as teaching us valuable lessons. Nothing I've experienced compares to the relationship between teacher and student at the YCP and I can't wait until next summer." - Patrick C. Handler (Laytonsville, MD) See what other YCP students are saying about the program
