Media Statement from CMS Board of Directors

For 23 years, Community Music School has successfully provided private music lessons for $1 to children in Wake County who would otherwise be unable to afford access to musical instruction. On Oct. 27, the
Board of Community Music School announced suspension of all classes. This move was necessitated by financial challenges that could not be adequately addressed with existing cash reserves.  An emergency fundraising campaign has been initiated to raise approximately $100,000 by Jan. 31 to enable the school to re-open.
