Testimonials

  • “Young Producers Group is blazing new trails in the field of music education that will provide an incredible experience to students and teachers alike. I started teaching music production at my school, in response to Covid restrictions. After professional development with Lawrence Grey, the founder of YPG, my classes were taken to the next level. He answers every question I have about music production and education, and helps me design appropriate lessons that cater to my students’ needs. YPG gave me the confidence and tools I need to start a thriving music production program at my public middle school. Thanks Lawrence and YPG!"

  • “When I first started teaching music production, I did not know what kind of activities and assignments would help my students become proficient musicians. With Young Producers Group’s curriculum and professional development programs, I was given the tools and the step-by-step guide. My students are now capable of creating awesome music that they love. The curriculum is simple and understandable, and when I had questions, Lawrence Grey and his team assisted me greatly. I would recommend YPG to anyone who is looking to teach music production or how to make music in general.”

  • “Young Producers Group has completely changed the way I teach Music Production for the better. What seemed like a daunting task was made so easy and accessible for me and my students. Their videos and projects are so helpful and tailored to the needs of young artists. Their PD is incredible with flexible scheduling, workshops and observations offered, and one-on-one time you can schedule at your leisure. Representatives also come out to give feedback to students and get them involved in the YPG community which includes beat battles and more opportunities. I can't imagine trying to teach Music Production without YPG, it has been such a blessing and saved me so much time. Their curriculum is not just assignments , but a curated culture. I cannot recommend them enough!”

  • “As a district arts administrator, I am thrilled to share my experience working with Young Producers Group. Their digital music production curriculum is exceptional, offering an excellent balance of theory and practical skills that is easy to follow for both experienced and inexperienced music teachers. The YPG team goes above and beyond to ensure that teachers are supported, even across larger districts like PVUSD.

    What stands out most is their responsiveness and dedication to the individual needs of educators. They provide a personal touch through classroom visits and professional development sessions, creating an environment where teachers feel truly supported. Their quick response time and creative ideas make it easy to collaborate with them and implement innovative music programs.

    Most importantly, YPG inspires students and believe in their potential as artists. Their approach not only teaches the technical aspects of digital music production but also fosters a deeper appreciation for creativity and self-expression while promoting career readiness. Through their guidance, students are empowered to reach their full potential, and it's evident that Young Producers Group truly brings out the best in every student they work with.”
