Youth Volume Musical changemakers ages 3-18 playing violin/viola/cello in Detroit & Marquette, Michigan! We are a queer-owned and operated organization.
-------

We grew!

We are youth ages 3-18 learning to play violin/viola/cello in order to grow RICH Changemaker Skills:
- Resilience
- Innovation
- Collaboration
- Higher Order Thinking

We are cultivating a Studio Culture & Teaching Approach using the world-class Suzuki method & social justice practices aka "Equity Pedagogy".

​We are studying genres with historical significance to our cities (Detroit + Marquette

, MI) during annual Place-based Music Celebration workshop series, performance, and an album release. We do this to develop positive cultural identities in our students as city residents and as Black, Indigenous & Youth of Color (over half of Youth Volume). We are making quality arts education accessible to families experiencing systematized oppression with grassroots student recruitment strategies and by maintaining a community-supported fund for financial aid. We are striving towards racial and economic justice, both as a community of people and a non-profit, through our practices inside and outside of the classroom. There are now TWO Youth Volume studios:

- The original is a sunny classroom in Cathedral Church of St Paul building in the arts district of Detroit. Detroit Youth Volume was founded in 2010.
- The newest is a cozy garden-level suite in the historic Old City Hall in downtown Marquette. Marquette Youth Volume was founded in 2022.
