Joshua Adams has been a YMU student since he was 5 years old. He is now entering his junior year in high school and was recently hired as the pianist at a local church. Joshua is currently enrolled in YMU Ear Training Essentials 3 under the tutelage of Mr. Gray, and one of his aspirations is to become a film composer for movies and commercials. Joshua said, "Being a student at YMU has helped me all the way through this musical journey and they even recommended me for the job. " He encourages other students to keep practicing and working hard until they receive their reward. "I am grateful to be here at YMU and will never forget all of the kindness they've shown me. "

YMU COMMUNITY KARAOKE A HIT!
The Young Musician's University teamed up with The Lake Carolina Farmers Market and hosted community karaoke at the market on July 7th. It was lots of fun watching people of all ages sing their favorite songs on stage in front of an audience. The youngest singer was 3 years old and sang his rendition of "Old Town Road" . YMU plans on bringing other musical events in partnership with the Lake Carolina Farmers Market, including the upcoming "Back-To-School Talent Showcase" for students ages 4-18 on July 28th from 4 pm - 6:30 pm. The last day to register is July 25th. Parents can register online at www.ymunow.com/events.
