Ever wanted to learn to play an instrument? What about playing in a group with other newbies and making some new musical friends? Well then the adult beginner band is a place for you! This is a new class here at CMCB where our adult community members can participate without any prior knowledge of music or instrument playing. Whether you finally wanted to learn keys, guitar, bass, horns, or be a lead singer, it is a space welcome to all beginners!
Instrument rentals are $65/semester or $130 for the full year, and we can also make recommendations for a place to purchase one.
Participants normally may join this group on a rolling basis, however this group is closed for the remainder of this school year.
