MSU’s Community Music School invites the public to attend an open house from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday. At the event, attendees will have the opportunity to enroll and learn more about the classes and lessons offered to students of all ages, birth through adulthood.
Throughout the open house there will be walk-in music therapy sessions and walk-in children and youth choir auditions. There will also be an instrument “petting” zoo, which will give those in attendance the opportunity to play a variety of instruments.
Additionally, the open house includes a beginning violin demonstration at 3 p.m., early childhood music demonstrations at 3:15 p.m. and 4 p.m., guitar ensemble demonstration at 3:30 p.m. and the Suzuki program will give presentations at 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Light refreshments will be provided, courtesy of Potbelly Sandwich Shop, East Lansing.
“The Community Music School has something for everyone, and the open house is a great time to learn more about CMS programming. We offer programs for adults, teens and children with all levels of musical experience and with all levels of ability, including people with special needs. Financial assistance is also available for those with need,” said Jaime DeMott, director of CMS.
CMS offerings include private and group lessons, adult and children’s choirs, early childhood music, music therapy, beginning and jazz bands for adults, string ensemble and Suzuki strings and piano.
