The BMC's Music Adventure Program (MAP) was developed to provide a music experience for a mixed abilities group  that promotes self-expression, communication, self-esteem, belonging to a group, and FUN! 

MAP shares the same philosophy as NEYT's Theatre Adventure Program, exploring and celebrating the vast abilities of all the students with the language and tools the arts have to offer.

Music Adventure Percussion

Instructor: Russell Horton
Tuesdays, 3:45-5:30 pm, Jan 31-April 17
Location: TBD (wheelchair-accessible)
Fee:  10 sessions $250

Musician and percussion instructor Russell Horton leads this unique class that uses percussion instruments to support students in musical self-expression, communication, and improvisation. By using rhythm students who have physical, cognitive, and communication challenges are afforded opportunities to express themselves in a language of music within a community of music-makers.

Sharing music brings people together and enriches lives in transformative ways.  There’s nothing quite as mysteriously binding and satisfying as making music together. MAP soundly (pun indeed intended) demonstrates that we are all truly musicians.

"The instructors were very committed to working out how to make this new music program successful for ALL the participants.  Beyond the actual sessions, they solicited and listened to constructive feedback from the participants and their caregivers.  During the sessions, they musically engaged each participant, both individually and collectively, within a welcoming atmosphere." MAP Student's Parent
