HAMMOND – Registration is underway for the fall session of Southeastern Louisiana University’s Community Music School, which begins August 28.
The Community Music School offers private instruction on all instruments and voice to students of all ages and levels of experience, said Director Kenneth Boulton. Tuition includes group theory classes, ensemble opportunities, masterclass coaching sessions with Southeastern music professors, and a variety of performance programs.
“This year, the CMS instructional roster features more regular Southeastern music faculty than ever before,” Boulton said. “This will give students who show genuine motivation and talent the chance to learn from some of the best teachers in the country.”
Boulton said students can also participate in three principle ensembles -- the CMS String Ensemble, directed by Jivka Jeleva; the CMS Preparatory Choir (ages 8-11), directed by Jessica Bryan; and the CMS Select Vocal Ensemble (ages 12-17), directed by Amy Prats.
He said CMS is again offering a variety of musical instruction, including violin, cello, guitar, piano and voice, at the St. Tammany Center, located in the parish governmental complex on Koop Drive north of Mandeville. In spring 2007, CMS will open its new Livingston Parish satellite program at the Livingston Literacy and Technology Center in Walker.
“Of special note this year is the opportunity for qualified juniors and seniors to enroll in the Northshore School of the Arts, which offers an array of classes in the performing and visual arts for college credit,” Boulton said.
