SUMMER MUSIC PROGRAMS

A summer full of music, learning, and creativity!

Choose instrument specific camps or explore music from a new perspective though engaging non-performance programs.

Wether you're a beginner or advancing your skills, we have something for every young musician.

Music Foundations

Every great musician starts with a strong foundation—and that’s exactly what our Music Foundations classes are all about! Through fun, interactive lessons in Music Appreciation, Ear Training, and Music Theory, students will gain the essential skills they need to understand, enjoy, and grow as musicians.Whether your child plays an instrument or just loves music, these classes help them connect the dots and become confident, well-rounded musicians—all in a supportive, no-pressure environment.

Music Appreciation

Dive into the world of music through our Music Appreciation program, where students explore the evolution of musical styles, major composers, and influential works across genres and time periods. This course fosters a deeper understanding and enjoyment of music by enhancing listening skills and cultural awareness, perfect for all levels of music lovers.

Ear Training

Our Ear Training program is designed to help students develop critical aural skills necessary for any musician. Through interactive exercises, participants will strengthen their ability to identify intervals, chords, scales, and rhythms by ear. This course builds a solid foundation for performance, improvisation, and composition, making music more intuitive and expressive.

Music Theory

In the Music Theory program, students gain a comprehensive understanding of how music works. This course covers the fundamentals of notation, rhythm, scales, intervals, chord progressions, and form. Whether you're a beginner or looking to solidify your knowledge, this class equips you with the tools to read, write, and analyze music with confidence.

Big news CIM Family!
‍‍


We’re excited to share that we’re starting some awesome renovations at our space this summer! This is all part of our ongoing investment in making CIM even more welcoming, comfortable, and inspiring for everyone who walks through our doors.

The best part? Our hours and services won’t change — we’ll still be here doing what we love while the improvements take place.

We know construction can be a little messy, and we appreciate your patience and support as we work to make things even better. Our team is always here if you have any questions or need anything along the way.

Thank you for being such an important part of this community — we truly couldn’t do this without you. We can’t wait to share the transformation with you soon!



SUMMER RECITAL



It’s time to get ready for CIM’s student recital.

We encourage all of our students to join in the FUN!

Recitals play an important part in the development of any musician. I am a big believer that to be a really great performer, you have to have consistent and gradual performance experience. In addition to consistent performance experience, you need to have a positive performance experience. I look forward to another great recital in June!


I look forward to another great recital in June!
