Music Masters - Hoffman Estates

March 8, 2011

Imagine! An opportunity for individuals with special gifts to perform

musically! Maybe you can beat a drum, play the piano, sing a song with a

brother. This is a time to allow the song in your heart to " play on " . Family

members or friends can assist in the music making.

Applications are due soon. This is a very friendly event open to ALL ABILITY

levels.

Please consider your participation!

Saturday, April 9, at the Village Hall, 1900 Hassell Road, with the fi rst

events starting at 9 a.m.

To be eligible to participate, musicians must have an intellectual disability, a

cognitive delay or a development

disability. Musicians ages eight years and older may participate, and everyone

participating in the event will

receive an award. Once entry forms have been submitted, participants will learn
