The Salvation Army Imperial Valley Corps Music Program offers a vibrant and engaging learning experience for children interested in brass instruments. Our approach is flexible, personalized, and designed to help each student succeed while fostering creativity and confidence.
Key features that make this program special include:
Personalized Instruction – We tailor lessons to each student’s learning style, skill level, and pace, ensuring they feel supported and challenged in their musical journey.
Encouragement of Talent and Creativity – We celebrate both new and experienced musicians, helping participants discover hidden abilities and develop existing skills.
Teamwork and Performance Opportunities – Through ensemble rehearsals, group activities, and live performances, students learn the value of teamwork while building stage confidence.
By participating, children gain more than musical skills—they develop discipline, self-expression, teamwork, and a sense of accomplishment that can inspire hope and open doors to new opportunities.
The Salvation Army Imperial Valley Corps Music Program is open to children in the community who are 8 years of age or older and wish to learn a new skill or strengthen existing musical abilities.
We encourage participants to bring:
- A willingness to learn.
- A commitment to practice.
- A team-oriented attitude.

The Salvation Army Is Here to Help More Kids Learn More Things
After-school programs have been proven to foster social and academic development as programs provide safe and structured environments for kids during after-school hours, oftentimes filling the space between the end of the school day and when parents return from work.
We know that every parent wants the best for their child’s future. Sometimes, in a world filled with distractions and challenges, finding the right support system can make all the difference. From homework assistance and tutoring to encouraging higher grades and boosting motivation to team-building activities and cooperative learning experiences that help develop essential social skills, our programs are designed to empower kids to unlock their potential and thrive.
