A Brief History
The "New Horizons Band" program was conceived by
Dr. Roy Ernst at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, USA, to provide entry
points to music-making
for adults with no musical experience, or with
skills from their youth.
The first "New Horiozons Band" was formed in 1991 and today, there are more than 100 similar programs in the United States, Canada, Australia and Ireland.
