Never Too Late To Join The Band

For the first time in its 79-year history, the Danbury Music Centre is offering a weekly beginner band for adults.

Danbury resident, Albert Montecalvo, a retired music teacher with 30-years of experience is the "leader of the band." He said that many adults have commented, "I wish I had learned to play an instrument when I was younger."

The new adult beginner band is called, "The Discovering Musical Concepts Band" or "DMC" for short and best of all, they offer all the band instruments from flutes to oboes, clarinets to trumpets and trombones.

Ensemble members meet on Tuesdays from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the Music Centre on Main Street. The deadline for registration is Jan. 20. Tuition is $45 a month and you will need to rent or purchase an instrument.
