Community Music School is committed to creating brighter futures through music. We are excited to be at our new home in Southeast Raleigh, and have a tremendous partner in Ruggero Piano. As part of the Tom McGuire Education Initiative, small classes have been introduced as part of our Journeys tier of programming. With the donation of the Yamaha Digital Piano Lab, CMS is growing its vision of offering innovative, high-quality after school music programming to students with limited resources. The lab will offer students opportunities to engage with each other and professional faculty in new ways. By leveraging the Yamaha technology, classes can capture the excitement of peer-to-peer learning, personalized instruction and musical discovery, allowing students to maximize learning at their own pace. We are thrilled to see how Yamaha and Ruggero Piano are dedicated to instilling the life-long appreciation of the arts in our students and families. This is changing lives one student at a time. - Dennis de Jong, Executive Director of Community Music School
