WARSAW — The Salvation Army of Kosciusko County is starting a new venture to serve area youth through the Warsaw Music Arts program, which kicks off later this month.

The program will offer free music instruction and activities for children ages 9 to 17, providing families with a new way to engage their children in activities without stretching their household budget.

An informational orientation meeting will be held at The Salvation Army, 501 E. Arthur St., Warsaw, at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 17. Families are invited to come and learn more about what the program will offer their children.

Limited spots are available, so those who are interested should fill out the Warsaw Music Arts program application form, which is available through The Salvation Army’s Facebook page or SAWarsaw.org. The deadline to apply is Friday, Sept. 13.

The Salvation Army’s musical heritage dates back to 1879, with brass bands and large choruses sharing music with communities around the world. Warsaw Music Arts will feature brass, guitar and vocal ensembles and aims to help children grow both musically and spiritually.

“We believe in nurturing the next generation, equipping them with musical skills and deepening their faith journey through the power of music,” said Emma Bowyer, Warsaw Music Arts coordinator for The Salvation Army.

The Warsaw Music Arts program is being made possible through the support of The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary of Kosciusko County.
