HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s Community Music School is accepting
registrations for its 2020 session, which begins Aug. 24.
Registration will remain open throughout the semester, however registrations
received after Aug. 17 will incur a $20 late fee.
The 13-week fall semester will offer individual lessons on various instruments
and voice to students of all ages at three locations – Southeastern’s main campus
in Hammond, the Southeastern Livingston Center in Walker, and Northshore Technical
Community College in Lacombe.
In addition to individual lessons, opportunities for music theory classes and
ensemble formation are also available upon request, said CMS Director Jivka Duke.
Students will be able to choose whether their lessons will take place in person, online,
or a combination of both. Instructors will adhere to all of the social distancing
and sanitizing guidelines the university is undertaking in order to ensure the safest
possible environment for students’ music training, Duke added.
“We look forward to launching the fall 2020 semester. Despite the challenges
of the pandemic and the feeling of uncertainty, we remain passionate about providing
the best quality of music education and raising the next generation of professional
musicians,” said Duke. “This fall semester marks the 25th anniversary of the Community
Music School, and we plan to host a special concert in collaboration with the Southeastern
Symphony Orchestra, celebrating the success of our program through the years.”
Duke said the generous sponsorship of First Guaranty Bank will allow the CMS
once again to offer discounted tuition to students who received reduced or free lunch
at their schools during the 2016-2017 academic year.
