NYJC’S GOLDEN RULES: We ask all young musicians to abide by the following code of behaviour. Failure to stick to these rules will result in your being asked to leave the project. (That said,we’ve only ever had to ask one person to leave in 15 years which is a record we’re thrilled with- Bravo NYJC!)

Please keep the teaching rooms and community areas free of litter and mess.

asked to leave the session with immediate effect.
