CCM Preparatory Department

CCM Preparatory offers a wide variety of programs in Music, Dance and Theatre Arts for both the arts enthusiast and the talented, pre-professional student, including classes for adults and young children.  CCM Preparatory’s summer programs reach both local students and students from all over the country.

Flexibility in Goals, Offerings

CCM Preparatory and Community Engagement offers a relaxed, welcoming environment where students of all ages may explore their artistic interests. Beginners of all ages are welcome in all areas of our school. Typically our older students do not plan to make the arts their livelihood and may therefore have expectations that differ from the more advanced or serious student; but older students still receive the same high standard of professional commitment that our faculty gives to younger students.

Opportunities include lessons, classes and summer programs in music, dance and theatre arts for both adults and children. Students wishing to take private lessons may have the option of Suzuki (string or piano) or traditional teaching. There are no audition requirements for acceptance, only for placement in some classes. Students are encouraged to perform in recitals, showcases and in the achievement festival. Opportunities are available both on campus and in other convenient locations that save time and offer easier access.
