Young Leaders in Music Education (YLME) is a student-organized nonprofit organization that provides one-on-one music instruction to students throughout the Carlsbad community in California. All proceeds are donated to music programs in the Carlsbad Unified School District to improve the quality of music education in the classroom or put right back into the program to provide students with the best music education opportunities possible.
The Leaders for the 2023 - 2024 school year are Anderson Bishop and Leila Felicity Young.
The mission of Young Leaders in Music Education is to improve the quality and accessibility of music education by providing mentorship for young musicians, supporting school music programs, and promoting passionate musicianship.
We envision a future in which young individuals are equipped with the skills necessary to pursue their passions fearlessly, understand themselves deeply, and impact the world meaningfully.
YLME fulfills its mission by (1) providing affordable private music lessons to students throughout the Carlsbad Unified School District and (2) raising funds for the music departments of Carlsbad schools. Each and every one of our music teachers is extremely passionate about sharing their knowledge and excitement for music with younger students - we are more than willing to go the extra mile to help students discover music as an source of personal expression and understanding.
