If a participant does not have a musical instrument, Music For Veterans provides one FREE-OF-CHARGE!
Veterans are asked to make a commitment to attending sessions for a period of one year. The instrument is on loan to the Veteran, but if they participate in the
classes for the full year, the instrument becomes theirs.
Weekly group music sessions are Free
to all Veterans and Military Personnel.

11AM to 12:30PM
Location: Veterans Center
240 West 11th Street
Tuesdays Sessions
6:00 to 7:30 PM

Music for Veterans provides an opportunity for social interactions through playing
a musical instrument with other Veterans
who may be facing the same issues of reintegrating into civilian life.
