HAMMOND – Registration is now open for the spring session of Southeastern Louisiana
University’s Community Music School. The 13-week spring semester will begin Jan. 22
and will offer individual lessons on various musical instruments and voice to students
of all ages at Southeastern’s main campus in Hammond and at the Livingston Literacy
Center in Walker.
The CMS will welcome a new voice/piano instructor to the Livingston Literacy
Center this spring. Students will still be able to choose between in person and online
instruction. Registration for the spring session will remain open throughout the semester;
however, all registrations received after Jan. 15 will have a $20 late fee added to
the tuition fee.
“We take pride in providing opportunities for students of all ages to learn a
musical instrument or develop their vocal skills,” said CMS Director Jivka Duke. “We
are happy to teach, guide and encourage students from a complete beginner to a professional
level musician and are honored to be part of their musical journey.”
Duke said that due to the generous sponsorship of First Guaranty Bank this academic
year, the CMS will offer discounted tuition to students who receive SNAP or Medicaid
benefits.
