Testimonials
“The Rap and Rhapsody workshop with YUNG Citizen was a fantastic experience for my students. The string arrangements were engaging, accessible, and fun to play, and they loved performing with YUNG Citizen at the end of the session. The entire experience was uplifting and inspiring, and my students were thrilled to explore a new style of music using parts designed for young musicians. I would highly recommend this workshop to any teacher looking to add new styles to their teaching.”
