At Community Music Center, joining an ensemble or taking music lessons opens the door to a student’s sanctuary, a place where joy of learning, con-fidence, and achievement are nurtured and grow side by side. Since 1921, CMC has been dedicated to its mission of equity and opportunity, provid-ing students of all ages and backgrounds with the chance to develop mu-sically and personally through high-quality instruction and a broad range of programs. I invite you to look through this year’s catalog to learn how you can grow and be challenged in our community.

CMC’s History of Making Music for Everyone

2011 CMC launches the first of its older adult choirs, the Solera Singers.

CMC is proud to have played an important role this past year in the lives of 2,400 students and more than 23,000 community members. We presented over 300 performances at our Capp Street concert hall and at other locations around the Bay Area. At both the Mission and Richmond Dis-trict Branches, CMC faculty offers lessons on over 30 different instruments, opportunity to join a variety of ensembles, and a range of coursework in areas such as music theory and songwriting. With student ages spanning over 90 years, CMC believes that it is never too late to study music.

Come make music with us!

CMC Model for Musical Study

1

Private lessons: The foundation of instruc-tion at CMC, private lessons provide guidance through the process of learning to play an instrument or sing. Designed to nurture indi-vidual talent, lessons help students learn how to practice, develop technical skill, improve musicianship, and gain a knowledge of and appreciation for musical works (see page 3). Theory, Musicianship and Composition classes: These classes offer a deeper under-standing of how music works and help stu-dents with rhythm, ear training, reading, com-position and performance skills (See page 25).

Ensemble classes: Complementing instru-mental and voice lessons, ensemble classes give students the opportunity to make music with others (See page 12).

Performances: Students can share their progress and talents and develop performance skills through concerts at CMC and other loca-tions around the Bay Area. CMC’s over 300 an-nual recitals and concerts also give students a chance to hone their listening skills and hear students, faculty and other musicians perform.

Students are invited to participate in recitals every quarter. Juried evaluations in May of-fer students the opportunity to: get feedback from other faculty members, audition for the all-level All School Recital held in June, and, if age 18 or under and receiving financial aid, audition for private lesson merit scholarships. View our Event Calendar at www.sfcmc.org.

Styles: Private and group classes are avail-able in many styles, including: western classi-cal, jazz, Latin, blues, folk, rock, popular, East-ern European and Middle Eastern.

Adult Certificate Program: This program provides a guided course of study to students of all levels, integrating all elements of the CMC Model for Musical Study (See page 30).

Exam preparation: Some CMC faculty can prepare students for the MTAC (Mu-sic Teachers Association of California), ASTA (American String Teachers Associa-tion), ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) and RCM (Royal Con-servatory of Music/Canada) exams if de-sired. Ask a registrar for more information.

Frequently Asked Questions

36

Q: Do I need a registration appointment to sign up for classes?

A: Yes. All new students must make an appoint-ment with the registrar to sign up for private or group classes. Classes are filled on a first come first served basis and there is no guarantee that you will receive your desired class.

Q: Can I still sign up for lessons or classes after a quarter has begun?

A: Yes. We add new students on a pro-rated ba-sis, charging only for the lessons taken from their starting date through the end of the quarter.

Q: I studied at CMC years ago. Am I considered a new student or a returning student?

A: If you have not studied at CMC for more than two quarters, follow registration instructions as a new student. If you have a good payment history and attendance record, you may have some prior-ity over new students.

Q: Is it necessary to sign up for all 12 weeks (8 weeks in Summer session) of the quarter?

A: We work on a quarterly basis and do not make special arrangements unless students sign up after the quarter has begun.

Q: How do I apply for financial aid?

A: We welcome anyone to apply for a fee reduction on the sliding scale. You must show proof of the family’s monthly net (after tax) income (or proof of your own monthly net income if you are single). If you are self-employed, you may submit bank statements and your tax return from the previous year. The sliding scale discount will be applied on the date this information is submitted.

Q: What if I miss a lesson?

A: There is no credit, reimbursement or make-up for missed lessons. It is a courtesy to inform your teach-er if you plan to miss a lesson and it is at the dis-cretion of the teacher to provide a make-up lesson.

Q: What if I get sick and miss a lesson?

A: Teachers are not required to make up a missed lesson due to a student’s absence. A leave of ab-sence may be granted by the teacher (with regis-trar’s approval) in cases of serious illness or injury.

Q: What if I am not happy with my class?

A: The registrar can work with you to find a better schedule, or you may drop the class after the first lesson. If you want to drop the class, notice must be given to the registrar at least 24 hours before the second week’s class in order to receive a re-imbursement for the remaining lessons. You will then be charged only for the first lesson (and the registration fee, if applicable).

Q: Can I apply for a full scholarship?

A: Any student currently a junior in high school or younger can apply for a full scholarship if the family is receiving a CMC sliding scale discount. There are scholarship auditions in May each year. Students applying for a scholarship should have at least one year of instrument study at CMC and their current CMC teacher’s recommendation.

Q: Are parents allowed to stay in the room where the class is held?

A: For children who are enrolled in private classes, parents are allowed to stay in the room with facul-ty approval. In group classes, parents are allowed to stay in the room only for the first class.

Q: Do you offer summer programs for kids?

A: CMC will offer two summer camps at the Mis-sion District Branch this year (see pages 9 and 10). Other classes for children held over the summer may include Family Music, Music for Children and private lessons. Q: Will I have the chance to perform for an audience?

A: We welcome all students to sign up for student recitals which are scheduled on Sundays through-out each quarter. There are also Performance Workshops hosted by faculty members. The instru-ment and the topic vary from quarter to quarter.

Q: Is CMC wheelchair accessible?

A: The Concert Hall at CMC’s Mission District Branch is wheelchair accessible and the Richmond District Branch is wheelchair accessible.

Q: Is CMC accessible via public transit?

A: CMC’s Mission District Branch is accessible via the 24th Street Mission BART station and Muni bus lines 14, 33, and 49. The Richmond District Branch is accessible via Muni bus lines 5, 31, and 38.

Registration PoliciesNew student registration: New students can call the registrar at the branch through which they wish to study to make a registration ap-pointment or begin online at www.sfcmc.org.

What to bring to registration:–Required fees (see p.37)–Completed Registration Form (see p.38)–Completed Sliding Scale Application (see p.37)–Sliding Scale documentation, if applicable

Purpose of registration: Registration is for sched-uling and payment purposes only; the student’s first meeting with the faculty member will take place at the first lesson or class.

Current student registration: Current students must notify the registrar at the branch at which they are registered, during the specified dates, that they wish to continue their lesson or class. Students who do not do so will be dropped (See current student registration dates in CMC’s Academic Calendar on p.40).

Late registration: Individuals unable to register during new or current student registration should contact the registrar at the branch where they wish to study. Late registration is pro-rated and on a space-available basis.

Payments: Full payment is due at registration. We accept cash, checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Ex-press and Discover. If payment is not made, student will be dropped immediately. In case of financial hardship, one half of the payment due may be paid at registration, with the balance due by the fifth les-son or class (third for Summer Quarter). There is a $15 check return fee.

Attendance policy: Regular and punctual atten-dance is one of the best investments students can make in their musical education. It is essential to progress, enjoyment and the high quality music at the heart of CMC’s mission. While some absences may be unavoidable, the accumulation of three or more absences in a given quarter may result in the evaluation of a student’s commitment to future study at CMC. Communication about attendance is also an essential part of the teacher-student re-lationship. If a student is not going to be able to attend a lesson, he or she must notify the teacher or the front office. Teachers are not required to make

up student absences. On occasion, however, with proper notification a makeup lesson may be ar-ranged.

Missed lessons: Students pay tuition regardless of their attendance. Students must notify the registrar before any absence, but this does not exempt the student from payment. Faculty members are not required to make up missed lessons caused by stu-dent absences. Faculty members may make up les-sons caused by faculty member absences, or a credit will be applied to the student’s account.

Student Illness Guidelines: While we encourage students to attend all of their lessons, classes, and ensembles, an ill child or adult will not perform well and may expose others to communicable illnesses. If a child is sneezing, coughing and/or sick enough to stay at home from school, please do not send your child to music lessons. Having sick children at CMC creates a hardship for faculty, staff and the community.

Leaves of absence: In cases of serious illness or injury, a leave of absence may be arranged. Prior ap-proval of both the faculty member and registrar is required. If approved, credit may be given for two or more consecutive absences.

Discontinuation: CMC reserves the right to dis-continue a student’s enrollment at any time for rea-sons including, but not limited to: poor attendance, non-payment of fees, lack of interest, or disruptive behavior. If a student is dropped for non-payment of fees, the student might be able to continue the quarter by paying the unpaid balance.

Refunds: Tuition refunds are given when lessons or classes are canceled by CMC. A refund, minus the first lesson or class cost plus registration fees, may also be given if the student decides not to con-tinue after the first lesson or class and notifies the Registrar at least 24 hours prior to the second les-son. If the registrar is not notified at least 24 hours in advance, the student is responsible for the full quarter’s tuition. $100 per week of camp tuition is non-refundable: the remainder is refundable only until the cancellation deadline (see camp program information on pages 10-12).

Photo and video release policy: CMC occasion-ally photographs or videotapes students for its print and online publications. Compensation will not be provided to these individuals. See photo and video release statement on CMC’s registration form.
