What if your student didn't have to choose?

Stay tuned, Atlanta.

What if your student didn't have to choose?

Serious music training. Globally recognized academic excellence. A schedule that actually works.

For years, families have been told: pick one. Compromise on the other.

Not anymore.

Something is coming to Atlanta. A partnership that changes everything for young musicians in grades 6–12 who refuse to settle.

Stay tuned. 🎵

What does real musical growth look like?

It looks like a full house. It looks like a percussion ensemble of kids owning the stage next to Georgia State University and Georgia Perimeter College Wind Ensembles. It looks like a piece composed and commissioned specifically for them — Grove Patrol No. 1: Sweep the Beat by Marcus Moore, with original found percussion parts created by CMC faculty Emily Bridges, who rehearsed every beat and made the whole thing happen.

That's not just a performance. That's a moment these kids will carry with them.

This is what personalized, high-quality music education looks like at CMC Atlanta — and there's a place here for your child too.
