​About the Community Music & Arts Collaborative

Welcome to the Community Music and Arts Collaborative,we’re glad you’re here! CMAC is a unique school that’s dedicated to breaking down barriers so music & arts education becomes accessible for ALL students. 
  • CMAC serves the community by providing a place to gather for everyone who wants to teach, learn, practice, or share music and the arts
  • Our group classes help students develop a profound understanding and love of the arts, ​building confidence and ​character.
  • Instructors create unique learning opportunities through community performance and engagement
  • Our internship program offers leadership roles to students, creating rare opportunities for them to further their knowledge and training in many areas — for example, our music students have been given in-depth exposure to music education concepts, performance logistics, and principles of management. 
  • ​Our music program’s unique instruction method combines ensemble work with public performances, creating a truly fun and comprehensive learning experience
  • We are committed to providing students a unique music and arts education that inspires character, creativity and leadership.

We don’t just play music, we MAKE it!
