Community School of Music gives back

For forty years, the Community School of Music at UM has been teaching music lessons. This year, they are able to reach out to even more people in the community after starting the Montevallo Music Connection program.

"This is a program that we designed especially for children in our community who are at risk or financially disadvantaged," says Lauren Morgan, CSM Director

There is also a free music class each week called the Musicianship Class. It's taught by Music Education majors.

"What we go over is basic music readings, being able to tell the notes on the staff, rhythms, teaching basically skills or lessons quicker," says Emily Merrill, Music Education major

CSM provides lessons to people of all ages in different instruments, including voice lessons. To register for lessons, visit montevallo.edu/music/CSM
