PARTICIPATION
Where We Meet
Currently we have Ohioan sites in Brecksville, Mentor/Willoughby and Solon. Look out for more Hearts For Music sites to start appearing in 2022! Please contact us for times/dates for rehearsals and performances. |
Are There Fees?
$20.00 per child per session. Money from fees and donations are the lifeblood of our beloved orchestra. We never want fees to be problematic and will assist exploring a variety of funding avenues such as local county programs and the Ohio Autism/Jon Peterson Scholarship. Pay fees or donate now. |
Who Can Participate?
Our Special Needs Orchestra is open to ALL individuals with special needs. While our youngest are 6-8 years of age, and the oldest is in her 60s, there is no age limitation. Our members have diagnoses ranging from Autism to Down syndrome to chromosomal abnormalities such as Turner’s Syndrome. We also do welcome children/teens without special needs to participate so that they learn how to be caring and compassionate towards others with special needs. |
No Experience Necessary
While an understanding of music is helpful, it is unnecessary for participation. If your child or loved one desires additional music training, we can offer recommendations. Just come with a love and heart for music! |
Rehearsal Schedule
Currently for 2022, most rehearsals take place on Saturdays. Please contact us for further details. |
Other Opportunities within HFM
Please consider giving a gift of money or being a volunteer. Volunteers are vital to the success of our orchestra members. We love to have you be part of the Hearts For Music family! |
