Becoming a member

Unfortunately, the Jostiband has such a long waiting list that we are not registering new members now. Would you love to make music? Or someone you know? Below you can find out what is possible.

Play along

You can play along with the Jostiband on this site. In the videos you will also see artists such as Maan and Guus Meeuwis. That is almost as much fun as a real rehearsal. Watch now and join in.

Mini music lessons

Ask if someone wants to help you. Do you like it? Find a music teacher in your neighbourhood. Maybe he or she can help you further with Colour Music.

More orchestras and lessons

Unfortunately, there is only one Jostiband. If it were up to us, there would be many more places where people with disabilities could make music. Here you can find a list of orchestras in the Netherlands that we know of.

Is there nothing in your area for people with disabilities? Tell your local music school or orchestra about this site. We have tips on how to start your own ‘Jostiband’, for example.

We regularly receive questions from people who also want to start a 'g-orchestra'. We are always happy to share our knowledge.
