about
You Be You Inc provides contemporary, culturally relevant and social emotional learning aligned music programming to youth 0-18 in Pittsburgh, PA. You Be You takes systemic approaches to empowering diverse groups of students to express themselves fully though music. Students receiving You Be You services are guided towards musical fluency in individual and community settings.​
All programs use our original curriculum, a developmentally sequential, and creativity-powered method. Students learn through play and creativity while absorbing necessary music theory skills to communicate their inner thoughts and feelings through song. Georgia English hand-draws all worksheets, develops characters kids love, and empowers musical autonomy in musicians of all ages.
