MACOMB, IL -- The Western Illinois University Community Music School (CMS) will soon start its fall private lessons, family music classes and the youth string orchestra.

The mission of the Community Music School is to enrich lives and communities by offering high-quality, affordable music instruction to all people, and to provide performance opportunities that contribute to the cultural life of the communities it serves. The dual mission is based upon the notion that music should play a central role in the life of any healthy community and that each and every individual has the capacity for music expression and enjoyment at some level.

CMS is continuing its Family Music Classes program for pre-school aged children and their parents. The program brings musical playtime activities to life, teaching adults and children to sing together in class and at home.

Other opportunities include private lessons for cello, guitar, voice, flute, organ and piano. The youth string orchestra program will be also offered for experienced string students.

Information and registration is available online at wiu.edu/communitymusicschool.

For more information, contact CMS Director Richard Cangro at rm-cangro@wiu.edu or (309) 298-3114.
