The Community Music School of the Piedmont
Our Programs
At the Community Music School of the Piedmont, we offer a variety of music programs for students of all ages and skill levels. From private lessons to group classes, we have something for everyone.
“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.”
—Plato
Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning.
Private Lessons
Our private lessons are tailored to each individual student's needs and goals. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced musician, our experienced faculty will help you reach your full potential. Choose from our many instrument offerings including piano, cello, violin, viola, guitar, harp, flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, percussion, and organ. Suzuki instruction is available for piano, violin and cello.
Summer Programs
CMSP offers a variety of summer programs for musicians of all ages and skill levels! From chamber music camps and voice workshops to beginner-friendly ukulele classes, there's something for everyone! All programs are held at Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville, VA.
Nurturing with Music
Nurturing with Music provides a musical and nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore sound, rhythm, and movement. Through playful, creative, and interactive experiences, children discover the joy of making music while developing essential cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and sensory skills.
Community Outreach
CMSP is dedicated to serving the wider community through outreach programs and performances. We believe that music has the power to bring people together and enrich our lives in countless ways. With the exception of our Candlelight Concert fundraiser, all events are free and open to all. Concert performances range from our own student recitals to hosting graduate performance recitals and regional chamber musicians. Additionally, we have an Instrument Petting Zoo available.
