multi-year museum
/school partnership that seeks to provide a systemic
music education to the 800+
students at the school. The program

North Coast Strings is a musical ensemble designed to be an entry point for adults who want to learn how to play a stringed instrument, or for those who have played a stringed instrument in the past but haven’t played in a number of years. The orchestra is hosted by the Museum of Making Music. The North Coast Strings Summer Concert is at 3 PM on Sunday, August 8. Free!
The national New Horizons Band program was developed by professor Roy Ernst of the Eastman School of Music in 1991. The program offers adults, primarily people who are over 50, the chance to learn how to play a concert band instrument and perform with other beginning musicians. The program has introduced thousands of older adults, retirees, and seniors to the joys and benefits of music making.
