Youth & Education

Dallas Youth Brass Band pre-college students
The Dallas Brass Band is committed toward nurturing the next generation of brass and percussion musicians of North Texas by fostering a passion for excellence and a lifelong appreciation for the brass band tradition. After the successful debut of the Dallas Youth Brass Band High School and Middle School Ensembles at the Texas Brass Festival, the Dallas Youth Brass Band returns once more for a 5-day summer institute to provide an unparalleled educational experience including mentorship from our accomplished musicians and a supportive community where young artists develop their skills, creativity, and musical leadership.
Middle school and high school students of all levels and ages are encouraged to register.
Programs range from week-long and weekend camps to multi-week seasonal ensembles. All instructional staff are background-checked and safety-trained before working with students.
