Welcome to Community Music School of Buffalo
Music for Everyone...for a Lifetime
 
Thank you for considering Community Music School (CMS) for music instruction for you and your child. We are proud to have been serving WNY since 1924. Last year we reached 850 students from the age of 6 months to 86 years and beyond in various city and suburban sites. These people were enrolled in vocal and instrumental lessons and classes in Buffalo, East Aurora, Getzville, Lackawanna, Lancaster, Lockport, Snyder and South Buffalo. We entertained another 2,640 people in 52 performances including our popular CMS Neighborhood Concerts, CMS-Chromatic Club Concerts at the Montante Cultural Center, Student Recitals and other events.

CMS Celebrates Halloween with Recitals
Published Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Halloween is the first of the holidays that CMS celebrates with a theme recital. On Saturday, October 25 a recital of singers (mostly) was held in the Case Studio with instrumentalists in the Barnette Memorial Room. On Monday, the scene was repeated in East Aurora at the School's satellite in St. Matthias Church. Performers are encouraged to dress in costume, at least wear orange or black, select Halloween or autumn music or, just for fun, to rename their pieces for the day. Look further for some photos of students, faculty and staff.
