Oral History Information

Job Title
Flutist
Company Name
New Horizon Band

Susan Burke started on the clarinet in the 5th grade and in her 20s she was given a bonus at her work so she made a purchase she always dreamed of, she bought a flute. She gravitated towards the flute thanks in large part to the Brazilian Jazz composer Antônio Carlos Jobim. Susan is a proud member of the New Horizons Band located at NAMM’s Museum of Making Music. This program was created for people who never had the opportunity to play an instrument or for those that played back in school and want to pick it up again. No matter what your circumstances, New Horizons Music provides a non-intimidating environment for you to begin or to resume making music.
