New In 2026!

Ready to make this your summer? Rise & Perform is where Santa Barbara teens learn music, form bands, and perform.

Over six weeks, you will build real skills, make new friends, and find your sound, whether you have been playing for years or have never picked up an instrument.

Led by Santa Barbara PAL in partnership with the Turner Foundation's Music & Imagination program, this is a hands-on experience built around you. You will learn the basics, jam with other teens, build your band, and work toward taking the stage.

Best of all, the program is completely free. All you have to do is show up ready to play.

Our youth programs don’t end with the school year - SBPAL offers a variety of youth programs and events all year long!
