What is Galveston Musical Youth?
We are a grassroots organization dedicated to empowering the creative musical talents of kids in Galveston. We want to connect children of all ages and skill levels with professional musicians so they can learn, create meaningful friendships with their musically inclined peers, and feel supported throughout every step of their learning journey.
What do you do?
Our first project is a FREE week long series of Summer workshops/lessons, held from Monday, July 14th - Saturday, July 19th, which will culminate in a fun outdoor concert to highlight what our students have learned! Our goal is to continue growing, and to expand beyond the Summer Concert Series so that we can offer vital community engagement throughout the year.
Is there an age limit?
Any child under 18 is eligible to enroll, with is no prior experience required. If your child is interested in playing drums, bass, guitar, piano/keyboard, or ukulele, we want to help them learn!
How do I sign my child up?
Click the “ENROLL NOW” button at the top right corner of this page. You will need to fill out a form which will tell us about your child’s instrument of choice and any previous experience, then upload 1-3 video examples of them playing, if possible. This helps us determine which classes to place them in.
Will you offer classes for any instrument?
As of right now, all we offer are guitar, bass, drum, ukulele, & keyboard/piano lessons. But we are always looking to connect with more local teachers for other classes, and children who already play another instrument at a beginner level are welcome to participate!
Does my child need to have their own instrument?
It’s recommended, however we are working on getting some instruments donated for those in need. Please fill out a contact form on our website to request an application for an instrument scholarship.
Do you accept donations?
