The Early Music Youth Academy, devoted to the joys of Renaissance consort music, meets for autumn and winter/spring semesters, with new performance projects each term.
SHAK also presents occasional short-term introductory or intermediate music workshops for instrumental music students.
Older, experienced instrumentalists have the opportunity to serve by invitation as apprentice musicians in many of our theatrical and vocal projects.

News from the Early Music Youth Academy
Autumn 2019: SHAK seeks special guest vocal soloists!
The Early Music Youth Academy seeks vocal soloists for its autumn program, The Life and Times of Salamone Rossi. If you're a teen singer taking classical voice lessons and you might like to sing some gorgeous music from 17th-century Italy in Italian and Hebrew, please visit our Enrollment page to learn more. There is no tuition fee for guest soloists.
Winter/spring 2020: EMYA will be accepting NEW players!
This will be the first time in two years that the Early Music Youth Academy is accepted new players. Our exciting winter-spring 2020 project explores music from the Gaelic nations -- Scotland, Ireland, and more -- in sources from the 16th and 17th centuries.
Watch this space for details and enrollment. Well-established students who study plucked or bowed strings or wind instruments in private lessons and practice daily at home are heartily welcome to join us! (Students should generally have been studying for at least 2-3 years, usually more, and are usually age 11 through teen.)
