SCHOOL OF MUSIC Support
Education has always been at the core of St. Cecilia Music Center’s mission. Our School of Music, with its youth orchestras and bands, adult ensembles, classes, summer camps and many other programs, is growing great music every day. Opportunities abound for our students of all ages, from kindergartners to seniors. St. Cecilia Music Center’s School of Music serves over 800 students with approximately 23,000 hours of instruction annually. Although orchestras and bands are tuition based, students are never turned away due to financial circumstances, and scholarships are provided for those in need.
