NAMM New Horizons Fellowships for Music Teachers

Application deadline: August 15, 2010

The New Horizons International Music Association, Inc is offering six fellowships to
music teachers in countries other than the United States and Canada who would like to
start New Horizons Music programs. The fellowships will pay up to $2,000. US dollars
per fellow to assist with travel expenses for visiting two New Horizons Music programs
in the United States or Canada. New Horizons music programs provide entry points to
music making for adults by offering group instruction for those with no previous musical
experience and those with music experience in the past who may need instruction to
comfortably resume music making. Although most New Horizons programs serve retired
people, they can include adults of any age. For more information about New Horizons
Music and to see the location of New Horizons groups, go to

groups by doing a Google search. Funding for the fellowships is provided by the NAMM
Foundation. NAMM is the International Music Products Association, located in Carlsbad,
California.
