Welcome!

The 2005 band in Saskatchewan

The National Youth Band of Canada is the most comprehensive music education project offered to the youth of Canada. The main focus of the project is to provide an opportunity for young musicians to work with a professional conductor and soloist, and to share and demonstrate their musical achievement and creativity. It serves as a forum to showcase and develop the talent of Canada's youth while further promoting a lifelong interest in music specifically, the arts in general, as well as fostering an understanding of these elements as fundamental to life's experience and to the cultural fibre of Canadian youth today—Canada's future.
