Teach the Arts
The Omaha Citadel Worship & Service Center offers instrumental and vocal music programs for all ages.
Music Enrichment
Research indicates that music education increases language development, improves spatial-temporal skills and test scores, and can even increase the IQ scores of kids. At the same time, both adults and children benefit emotionally and physically from playing an instrument, participating in a choir or even simply listening to music.
Music Makes our Hearts Soar
We provide students of all ages the opportunity to find their musical passion, whether it's singing or playing an instrument. This musical training also includes spiritual development, connection with their peers and the opportunity to perform in the Omaha community.
How We Teach the Arts
As schools struggle to continue funding arts and music programs, we've stepped in to fill the gap.
Youth Music Programs
Beginner and Junior Bands
Youth learn musical theory and technique on brass instruments and percussion. Practices and classroom time prepare students for performances and opportunities to contribute to worship services. Band practices are Wednesdays at 7 p.m.
Singing Company
Youth learn musical theory and singing technique in a children's choir, culminating in a performance during a worship service. Singing Company meets Wednesdays at 7 p.m.
Adult Music Programs

Weekly practices keep our adult choir prepared for contributing meaningful pieces in worship services. Rehearsals are Thursdays at 6:30 p.m.
Senior Band
