As a Musical Volunteer
Volunteers play instruments in our traditional
band that accompanies the
interPLAYcompany Band in performances.
Instruments include trumpets, flutes, cellos,
clarinets, violins, guitars, drums. What do
you play? Some of our musical volunteers
are also bandaides. You can be both!

As an Adult With and
Without Cognitive

Guidelines
Most band members have moderate to
mild cognitive disabilities that often make
it difficult to learn to read and play music
in the conventional way. We give them the
opportunity to express themselves in the
universally understood language of music.
interPLAYcompany Band employs
unconventional teaching techniques that
enhance cognitive, social and motor skills.
Many of our players do not have access
to therapies that address their continual
need for cognitive and physical
development.
The band plays a wide repertoire of music
including classical, jazz, Broadway, folk,
light and grand opera, vocal and
drumming. Band members learn to play
professional percussion, tonal and folk
instruments from around the world and
enjoy the exhilaration of vocal music, solo
and ensemble.

disabilities are eligible to interview with
staff. Minimum requirements for
