The Joy Yelin Studio

Classes and Private Instruction
Improvisation for Movement and Studio, Suzuki™, Movement and Curriculum, Creative Arts and Healing

Imagine a music class where there are no mistakes!

• Where anything, literally anything, goes as you learn to listen, learn what you like, and what you don’t, and learn to put it all together to make music your own.  The more you do it, the better you are able to choose the sounds you want to hear!

JOY YELIN’S WORKSHOPS IN IMPROVISATION HAVE INSPIRED TEACHERS OF TRADITIONAL PIANO, ENHANCING THEIR PERSONAL SKILLS AND ENABLING THEM TO TEACH STUDENTS OF ALL AGES AND LEVELS OF EXPERIENCE!

“If I ever find myself in the position where I’m dean of a music school, my students won’t be able to graduate unless they take a class in improvisation. They’re going to have to be able to play without music in front of them just to have the courage to play one note after another and see what it sounds like.”
'The Mozart Sessions'  Bobby McFerrin and Chick Corea
