Students of all experience levels are invited to join our beginning band program & receive instruction from top Arizona educators.   The PHX Youth Bands are designed to give an exceptional band experience students who are a part of a strong band program or don't have one available.  It's an excellent opportunity for those who want to get a jump start or get ahead in band.  Brass, woodwind and percussion students are encouraged to participate.  The curriculum is designed to focus on the band as a whole while also giving each instrumentation focused attention.
