YOUTH BANDS

Join a band this school year! Youth (ages 8-18) take the individual skills and techniques learned in private lessons to the next level. Want to rock out on the big stage? Students are matched together into bands based on musical preferences, instrumentation, scheduling availability, and age. Let us know if you'd like to be in the same band as a friend! Bands choose what songs to learn (or write!) and have performance opportunities throughout the year at local venues, events, & festivals, including our Resurgam Festival in June. Playing in a band is an incredible opportunity to rock out with other students and grow through music.
