Course Registration

Why Do We Need to Register?

If you are new to Winchester, please contact us to make sure there is an opening for you and your instrument. We currently are seeking violas and bass, and on occasion may have need for additional percussion, winds and brass. Email us.

Once an opening is confirmed by either the Music Director or a member of the orchestra, we request that those over the age of 50 register.  The orchestra is a course offered through West Valley College,  NCAD-152, (non-credit music-Orchestra for Older Adults).  Even if you are playing only a portion of the concert sets, if you are age 50+. we still need you to register. You can register at anytime., but you may need an add authorization code if the semester has already begun.

How To Enroll

Once you receive confirmation of a successful application, you’ll receive an email that assigns you a @mywvc.wcv.edu email address, which you will use to access the WVC student portal.  Then sign into the portal (see link below to get started), find the link to register for classes, and then search for NCAD-152 at West Valley College.  You may need to request an add code from the instructor, Music Director and Conductor James Beauton
