Westfield Announcements

           
The Music Connection, an instrumental music program for special needs families, is currently interviewing and placing students in this innovative program of the New Jersey Workshop for the Arts.

           
Potential candidates, ages 6 and older with neurological, developmental and/ or physical handicaps,  will be interviewed and evaluated for admission to study violin, viola, trumpet, piano, clarinet, alto sax, oboe or snare drum. 

           
Students must have a Music Partner who will attend all lessons and practice with them.

Although there is no tuition for the student, parents must pay an adjusted fee.  The NJWA will loan band and orchestral instruments to the students at no cost, but parents will be charged a reduced fee.            
 

Due to present financial restrictions, placement in the program is limited.  However, the NJWA is seeking individual or corporate sponsors so that it can continue providing this service and possibly expand the Music Connection to include more families.

           
The Music Connection will be held at the NJWA studios at 150-152 East Broad Street, Westfield.  Please call Dr. Ted Schlosberg at 908-789-9696 for a brochure or more information.
