Here you will find programs for preschoolers, private music lessons, classes in watercolors, ceramics, fashion design, digital arts and music, an audition-free adult chorus and more! Our unique Music School offers private lessons, theory and composition classes and ensembles designed to nurture the complete musician. Workshop Weeks offer students the opportunity to expand their horizons and focus on one aspect of their musical journey. Our distinguished faculty accommodates students of all levels and aspirations. Group classes are offered for those new to their instrument. CSMA’s Art School permits exploration of a broad range of media for all ages and abilities. Sequential classes develop skills and deepening of personal expression. Figure drawing classes are offered for both teens and adults. Our digital arts classes range from photography to speed painting. Preschool classes in music and art engage children in age-appropriate activities and personal expression. For some, these are their first classroom experience. Our faculty works with each child and their parents to nurture their participation. CSMA also joins with community partners, such as Abilities United, AchieveKids and Morgan Autism Center, to nourish the spark and excitement of creativity. Art, music and dance classes for our special needs students are very popular. None of our success could be realized without the generous support of government, foundation and corporate funders and individuals like you who believe in arts for all. We are grateful for your continued support and the difference you make in the lives of our aspiring artists and musicians. Sincerely, Vickie Scott Grove Executive Director Financial Aid Available for All Programs In keeping with our commitment to Arts For All, CSMA offers tuition assistance to qualified students.

In the Reggio Emilia style, the music and art studios are set for inquiry-based learning and the teacher’s role is to be a collaborator with the child, not just an instructor. The child is viewed as an active constructor of knowledge. Rather than being seen as the target of instruction, the child has an active role as an apprentice. The Reggio Emilia approach to teaching young children puts the natural development of children as well as the close relationships that they share with their environment at the center of its philosophy. Children learn through the experience of touching, moving, listening, seeing and hearing.
