Welcome to Young European Strings School of Music
YES caters for music students from the age of two and a half years upwards. The school specialises in the early development and training of young professional musicians. It was established by its founding director Maria Kelemen in 1988 in Dublin.

About the school ethos:
The inspiration to develop the basic philosophy of YES School of Music originates from the believe that the developing child’s mind and senses must be
stimulated in equal order i.e. a child with highly developed audio
senses should be motivated into also develop the tactile and visual
senses a child with great focusing power but inefficient co-ordination
likewise should be stimulated with specially devised games into better
eye-limb co-ordination etc.
Early childhood instrumental teaching is achieving this results.
Hence our motto:
“Music is our language. Through it we embrace the world!”
In practice this leads to the notion of starting off the individual (as opposed to group teaching) musical education of the very young at an age (preferably at two and a half years) before the kindergarten/school system instills it’s own methods of group teaching on the developing mind.
The short term results of motivation, discipline and structure at home when practicing a musical instrument combined with the long term achievements of successful public concerts, exams and competitions induce the self confidence, stability of mind and ease within one’s own body needed for an all round human being.
