The Knoxville Youth Performing Arts Association (KYPAA) is a non-profit organization that provides arts education and performance opportunities for young people throughout Knox County.

We currently welcome any students in 6th - 12th grades to join the KYPAA. 

The KYPAA performs a variety of music, including classical, jazz, pop, traditional and contemporary Broadway musical theater, gospel, international selections and more.

KYPAA programs meet for rehearsal once a week. Occasionally rehearsals will increase for periods leading up to performances or special week-long programs.

You will need to bring your music folder and a pencil. Folders will be provided at the first rehearsal.

You should wear comfortable, appropriate clothing that you can move around in easily.

If you can't make it to a rehearsal, please let the director know as soon as possible. (Contact information can be found on the Contact us! tab)

To enroll your child in the KYPAA, please fill out the enrollment form on the Join us! tab.

There are many benefits to your child joining the KYPAA, including:

• • Quality arts education

  • Performance opportunities

  • Social interaction

  • Confidence building
