TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH MUSIC AT MCMC.
WE BELIEVE THAT EXPRESSING THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE OF MUSIC STRENGTHENS INDIVIDUALS, RELATIONSHIPS, AND COMMUNITY.
At MCMC we create music, inspire each other, and feel vibrancy in our lives. We encourage performance to give students the experience, pride, and satisfaction that comes with contributing to the greater community. We celebrate creative problem solving, resilience, inner confidence, presentation skills, a growth mindset, humor, friendships, the ability to work in a group, community service, discipline, and heartfelt expression.

Our Story
The seed of sound that’s planted and watered exists in all of us, ready to flourish.
From a time before I can remember, music has been an integral and essential component of my life and sense of self. It became clear to me, through a lifetime of dedication to the study of music, that it is also fundamental to the health and vibrancy of a community. MCMC is here to address that need, providing access, inspiration, and support for all who seek to incorporate music into their lives.
