We’re in the community and for the community

At the Center for Musical Arts, we believe that music is for everyone. There are many ways to be musical – for a lifetime. We provide music instruction and experiences for people of any age, ability, background, or financial circumstances.

“Community music” means music-making instruction, experiences, and related opportunities for everyone, regardless of ability to pay or play. Whether onsite, online, in schools, or offsite at community organizations, we provide a nurturing, safe environment to explore your connection with music.

Concert Band

The Center for Musical Arts’ Concert Band performs many civic and community events, which are free to attend. It is one of the ways that the Center serves our community through music.

LifeSong Chorus (for memory care patients and caregivers)

The LifeSong Chorus is a welcoming group designed especially for people with early-onset Alzheimer’s (and other dementias) to sign up for along with their caregivers. Making music brings joy, improves well-being, increases quality of life, and provides enjoyment for those living with dementia. The LifeSong Chorus provides a weekly musical space, connection, and purpose along with the joy of music-making for this population. Team-directed by Center for Musical Arts choral experts, the LifeSong Chorus rehearses weekly.
