Welcome to the MSU Community Music School

Welcome to the MSU Community Music School! Founded in 1993, CMS is the outreach division of the MSU College of Music. The Michigan State University (MSU) Community Music School (CMS) brings music education and music therapy to those of all ages and abilities within the Greater Lansing community. Founded on the belief that music dramatically enhances the quality of life, CMS offers opportunities for the study, appreciation, and therapeutic use of music while nurturing the musical development of all. At CMS, students and therapy clients are brought together with music professionals, who are committed to sharing their extraordinary gifts by offering accessible and affordable music instruction, music therapy, and performance opportunities for all interested community members.

We are conveniently located off-campus, on the eastern edge of East Lansing, just north of Burcham Road (map and driving directions) with plenty of free parking.

The main parking lot and connecting drives of the Timberlane building will be closed to traffic and parking from Wednesday, July 16 - Sunday, July 20, 2008, while the lot is patched, sealed and re-striped.

All CMS students and visitors may utilize the visitor lot located across the street during this time.
