Advantages for the community
CMS adds to the community by enhancing and enriching the lives of those it touches, while growing future productive young adults.
 
 
CMS continues to create music in and for the Community of the Lehigh Valley
Many recitals are held annually, with each of our students requested to perform in at least one of them. Church functions, club meetings, organization luncheons, assisted living communities/retirement centers plus our own CMS recitals, highlight the outstanding talents of our students while contributing to the artistic life of the community. Additionally, our teachers are each accomplished in their own right and most perform together and with other groups. For example, some of our teachers are members of the Allentown Symphony Orchestra.
 
CMS is helping to keep city youth off the streets.
While a benefit to the community, youngsters also reap the advantages of music study (requires discipline that is often self-rewarding). They have the opportunity of music study that they might not have had if it wasn't for our financial aid program. What talent might not have been recognized had it not been for this program.
 
CMS provides opportunities for special needs' children and adults.
Special needs' children and adults are provided opportunities through music therapy programs in-house and through outreach programs. Various locations throughout the Lehigh Valley are centers for our music therapy programs. Mercy Special Learning Center, Boy's and Girl's Club of Allentown, The Girl's Club of Allentown, Daybreak and CitySpace are all partners with CMS. All of these programs deal with youth, economically disadvantaged, some senior citizens, the handicapped and other special community members.
