NEW! Music Technology Program

The Music Technology program at Community Music School gives students the tools and the knowledge to create and produce their own recorded music. Students gain hands-on experience with music recording and production, and take away real job skills that will give them a head start toward careers in the music industry.

The Music Technology Lab at CMS gives students access to industry-standard recording and production equipment and software. You don’t have to play a musical instrument to have a successful music career. Our Music Technology Program will help students with a passion for music explore other pathways, and work with students with similar interests.
