Through its affiliation with Nazareth College's distinguished collegiate music department, the Community Music Program adheres to the highest standards of excellence in musical instruction. We believe deeply in the fundamental value of an arts education. We recognize that the development and active encouragement of one's musical abilities exert a positive influence upon academic performance, self-confidence, a sense of individuality, creativity and discipline.

The Program focuses upon the needs of the individual student while at the same time appealing to a wide range of ages and abilities. Members of the CMP faculty serve as artistic role models whose guidance strives to be nurturing and supportive. Our aim is to open doors to a lifetime of appreciation, satisfying participation, and above all, real joy in the experience of music.
