Private lessons requirement at YOBC

YOBC students must take private lessons. Elementary students who play a band instrument (ie: not a string instrument) are excluded from the private lesson requirement for their first year of membership in YOBC. However, we strongly recommend that all students take private lessons to support their overall musical progress.

Students who are not taking private lessons are allowed to audition for YOBC, however, once accepted those who are required to do so must begin private lessons prior to attending rehearsals in YOBC.

About this list

Many YOBC students and parents request a list of private instrumental music teachers (teachers). YOBC provides a list of teachers as a convenient starting point for students and parents searching for a teacher suitable for their musical needs. Some of them have or have had students in YOBC programs. These teachers are not agents or employees of YOBC. Inclusion in or provision of the list is not a recommendation or approval of any of the instructors on the list and does not reflect whether or not the teacher maintains current PA Criminal Record Check and Child Abuse History clearances. YOBC has not and does not conduct backgrounds checks on any of these instructors. It is the responsibility of parents to verify any required background checks and qualifications. YOBC cannot and will not regulate contact (including phone calls, electronic messages and social media interactions), or intercede in any relationship, between students/parents and teachers. YOBC will not have any liability in connection with any of the teachers.
