Dane County New Horizons Music, Inc. (DCNHM) was organized on November 30, 2015 as a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity by several people wanting to meet the need in the Dane County (Madison) Wisconsin area for a band for adult musicians who may be new to playing a musical instrument, those who have not played since they were in high school or college, and those who want to learn to play a different instrument. The organization is also open to input from the community for the need to start or partner with additional bands, orchestras, choruses, and ensembles. DCNHM is a proud member of the New Horizons International Music Association and the Association of Concert Bands. We hold a blanket public performance license for copyrighted music from ASCAP and BMI through the Association of Concert Bands.
While many adults would like to learn to play a musical instrument, they are unaware of how to start. The New Horizons Music movement provides for this entry into making music for adults throughout the world. While originally developed for those over 50 years of age, any adult is welcome to participate in the DCNHM program. Music is a great way to exercise and expand mental capacity, increase social contacts, and have fun in the process.
