Audience Served
 
CMSLV serves nearly 1,000 members of the community through private, semi-private, group/class instruction and through numerous outreach programs. Instruction is offered in almost any instrument,as is voice. The CMS Outreach Programs partner with other organizations to serve those without the means or ability to attend lessons at our facility on North Sixth Street.

Additionally, CMS serves many other members of the Greater Lehigh Valley community as they become the audience to many of our students’ performances. Students perform at Service Clubs, Church functions, Special events, meetings and luncheons, retirement communities and during annual festivals. Numerous student recitals are held at CMS throughout the year. These recitals are free, and we encourage you to attend to see and hear the talented youngsters and adults who have benefited through CMS music instruction.

Quality programming and qualified faculty continue to remain the focus of CMS Administration and Board of Directors.

 
Advantages for students
 

There have been numerous surveys on arts education suggesting they do more than merely create musicians. Surveys show students increase academic performance: attitudes and habits are improved, heightened citizenship is realized, and discipline is acquired, leading to self-accomplishment and greater self-esteem. Creativity is discovered and refined. Flexibility is learned, leading to better social skills. The result: a more well-rounded citizen.
