The Christian Youth Band of Austin (CYBA) is an instrumental program designed to provide a quality and fun concert band experience to Austin area students. The program is designed for homeschool students as well as private school students who do not have a band program in place at their individual campus. Students from age ten through high school are welcome as well as any parents who want to take up an instrument. (Students under ten may participate depending on the student's hand/finger size and facial muscular control)
Your child can learn to play:
Flute Clarinet Saxophone
Trumpet French Horn Trombone Baritone
Percussion (snare drum, bass drum, orchestra bells and xylophone)
Currently, the CYBA offers instruction on two different levels.
Beginning Band is for students with no experience on their instrument. Beginners are taught all of the techniques essential to making music. First-year students do not need to know how to read music. Our complete curriculum ranges from choosing the best instrument to interpreting music notation to playing the instrument in performance. Students who are just beginning their band experience are given an extensive evaluation by the instructor so that they and their parents can choose the best instrument for them.
Intermediate Band is designed for students who have had a year or more of experience. The students are taught how to increase range and technical ability and play a greater variety of ensemble and concert band music. Both the beginning and advanced bands meet for 90 minutes once a week.
Private Lessons!!
One-on-one private lessons are offered in addition to the class experiences for students who wish to progress at an even faster rate.
Location
All classes meet on Mondays at Grace Church of the Nazarene, located at 1006 West Koenig Lane in central Austin. The possibility exists for other locations and days depending on the needs of the families enrolled.
The CYBA exists to help students experience the joy, fun and excitement
that comes from playing quality music with others.
