Outreach Activities: Group therapy and music classes are brought to the community by Note-Ables music therapists. Programs have been held at organizations such as the Reno Housing Authority, WCSD special education classes, Camp Lots-a-Fun, senior services organizations and Community Rehabilitation Programs. We are always eager to partner with our community to bring music and music therapy to under-served populations.
Performance Opportunities: The Note-Ables believes that performance is the next logical progression to participating in music and dance programs. Thus we create several opportunities a year for our participants to perform for their family, friends and community. Noodles and Notes, Fall Recital, Annual Artown concert (2011: Mostly Motown), and Holiday Caroling are a few of these opportunities. The Note-Ables also has a professional band that performs 30-40 gigs a year throughout Northern Nevada. Auditions for the performance group happen each Spring and Fall.
