Have you ever tried to play:

A French horn?

A Cello?

A Flute?

The Music Van is a nationally acclaimed program made possible by the New West Symphony where thousands of dollars worth of orchestral instruments are brought to individual third grade classrooms for “hands-on” experience.


How does my school become involved?
Each school is asked to send 2 or more volunteers (teachers, parents, etc.) to a special workshop where they will learn the “care and feeding” of the instruments and discuss various ways to present the instruments to the students. The only requirement for volunteers is that they be enthusiastic and have a high tolerance for NOISE!


How much does the Music Van cost?

Absolutely nothing! Through the generosity of sponsors, the Music Van is free.
