Music
New Horizons Band/Orchestra
It’s never too late to renew your enthusiasm for music by learning to play a new instrument, or by dusting off your old instrument and playing again. New Horizons Band and Orchestra provides an opportunity for adults to make new friends and enjoy playing music together each week.
It’s Easy and Fun!
As an adult you have advantages that will help you learn. If you played your instrument years ago, you will be amazed at how much you remember and how quickly you will be able to play again. If you have questions about your skill level, or about the class, please call the Director, Archie Rader, at 559.431.8793, or email him at arader5831@aol.com.
