Theater Classes
Grand Blanc Youth Arts is partnering up with local theater teachers to offer music theater classes for children in the community. Children will develop acting, drama, and singing skills through various music theater numbers that will be showcased in a public performance for friends, family, and community members.
Drumline
The GBYA drumline is a percussion ensemble that features the standard drumline instruments that you see in most high school marching bands but is open to elementary and middle school students. Children will learn to read and perform basic rhythms and drum rudiments on their specific drums. They will collaborate with the entire ensemble to play fun drumline arrangements that they will share with the community through public performances.
GBYA Guitar Level 1
4th - 8th Grades
The GBYA Guitar Studio welcomes 4th-6th graders to our "Level 1" guitar lessons designed just for beginners. Students will learn the fundamentals of playing guitar, including how to properly care for their instrument, hold it correctly, tune the strings, and play simple melodies and chord progressions. They'll also develop basic strumming and picking techniques, learn proper finger placement, and begin reading standard music notation.
Each participant will be provided with a guitar on loan for the duration of the course, allowing them to practice and develop their skills at home.
