Young singers: find your voice and learn to blend it into a group by singing in CMC’s Children’s Chorus! You will develop basic ear training, sight singing and performance skills in an environment that emphasizes cooperation, teamwork and fun. In addition to presenting three theme concerts each year, the Children’s Chorus performs in Spanish at CMC’s “Las Posadas” celebration each December.

Whether you are an advanced beginner or an accomplished amateur musician, CMC’s chamber music program offers an opportunity to develop your musicianship and technique as well as the chance to play with others. Groups are composed of two to five students of compatible levels. Advanced beginners and intermediate students will focus on developing basic ensemble skills, intonation, tone quality, and rhythmic accuracy. Advanced students will study important aspects of ensemble playing, including interpretation and performance techniques.

This class is for children who would benefit from the experience of playing in an orchestra in an early stage in their playing. We will play easy tunes and rounds for one, two or three voices.

This is a great introduction to music fundamentals on the keyboard in preparation for private lessons on piano or any other instrument. Basic musical concepts such as note reading, rhythm, pitch, and piano technique will be taught through fun and imaginative activities. Children will also learn to play simple songs on the piano. Since students will be expected to practice at home, they must have access to a keyboard or piano.

This group class helps kids develop musicianship through rhythm games, songs, creative movement and the use of Orff instruments, which are designed to give a successful musical experience to all beginning musicians. Students will be introduced to symphonic instruments and experiment with the way their sounds are produced. They will also learn popular songs from around the world.
