It is Never Too Late to Make Music!
PSST!! You, there!Do you ever listen to a concert and wish you could play an instrument? Do you already play an instrument, but find yourself wishing you played a different instrument? Have you recently started playing a band or orchestra instrument but haven't had any place to play with others? Have you ever thought back on how much fun it was to play that instrument you played many years (decades!) ago and wish you could do it again? Do you watch your kids play in band or orchestra and think that it really looks like fun? Do you want to play your instrument, but don't want the stress of the standard community band or orchestra? If so, we are the music group for you! BUT, I HAVEN'T A CLUE WHAT THE LITTLE BLACK MARKS ARE ON THE PAGE!!!!! We'll teach you, right from the beginning. The Sudbury Valley New Horizons Band or Sudbury Valley New Horizons Strings is your entrance to the world of instrumental music in a non-competitive and non-intimidating musical environment. A place where your personal best is always good enough. Sudbury Valley New Horizons Music is an organization for adults who love music and want to be involved in playing music with others. (Worried that you won't have enough air or your arthritis is too bad?? See our Frequently Asked Questions) Come play with us! Explore our site to learn more and feel free to just come and listen or sit in for a week or two to see if SVNHM is the place for you. We rehearse at Wayland Middle School (201 Main Street, Wayland) on Wednesday evenings - see calendar link for when we are rehearsing. Most people arrive between 6:15-6:30 and rehearsal runs until 8:15. Our jazz group rehearses from 8:15-8:45. Email Diane for more info.

NEWSWe had a wonderful spring concert! Awesome job, all.
Summer session signup sheets will be posted soon. We will rehearse and perform on Wednesdays, between June 5 & July 11.
Summer Camps for adults! There are quite a few and many are through New Horizons, so all levels of musicians are accepted. New England Music Camp has now announced their week for band (Aug 26-Sept 1) and strings (Sept 2-8). Check out this one and others at http://www.newhorizonsmusic.org/. Be sure to look at the "other" listing under camps as well as the New Horizons listing.
Quote of the day: "There is no backspace key in music." Dean Tuba So true! Talk about in the moment! Do you worry about your job or anything else while playing??
Great article from the NYT about conducting and what is going on as we wave our arms around. Be sure to look at the video, too. Fascinating use of technology!
I've posted an theory explanation of the "C, E & G walk into a bar..." joke. Go to the Musings page.
On the Wednesday before Christmas, we held our first annual Christmas Carol Sight-reading and Sing-a-long. It was well attended by about 60 people playing and singing and loving the music of Christmas. How cool to look out and see so many parent/child combinations playing side by side and to have friends and family join us to sing along! We had members of the Golden Tones join us, too! Great fun!
Pictures are posted for our Spring 2011 concert
I've added a "Musings" section to our website. I'm starting with that "Good Word", Opsimath. But, anyone else who has a musing of some sort that might be interesting to others in our group of opsimaths, is welcome to submit it.
