Young Musicians Of Virginia

YMV began in the fall of 1991. Home-schoolers had a need for a musical outlet. While private lessons were available in the community, there was no opportunity for a group experience. So with that in mind, a retired band instructor, Mr. Carroll Bailey, was approached about starting a home-school band. An ad was put in the Bayith and YMV started as a cooperative with four students and a page turner. It was called Young Musicians of Virginia few years later. It met for one hour, two days a week.
