HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University’s Community Music School (CMS) is
accepting registrations for its 2019 session, which begins Sept. 3.
Registration will remain open throughout the semester, however registrations
received after Aug. 26 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 North Shore Technical
Community College in Lacombe. In addition, violin, viola and cello students who have
one year of previous experience may participate in the five-week orchestra session,
said CMS Director Jivka Duke. Students who wish to pursue music as a career can take
advantage of the recently lunched Music Career Track program. Opportunities for music
theory classes and ensemble formation are also available upon request, Duke said.
“We look forward to launching the fall 2019 semester. We are passionate about
providing the best quality of music education and helping our talented students reach
their goals and dreams,” said Duke. “We are very excited to once again have our Concerto
Competition Winners perform as soloists with the Southeastern Symphony Orchestra in
October. We also look forward to the performance of our younger CMS orchestra as well
as the end of the semester recitals where we celebrate the accomplishments of all
of our students.”
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 2018-2019 academic year.
