Boston adores its musicians and artists, giving them a home permanently for the freedom to create and imagine the possibilities in vibrant colors and sounds. Music theory, music therapy, performance ensembles, beginning at home with early childhood and private instruction to after school programs and a host of satellite programs, the choices will make your heart sing. The Community Music Center of Boston has staff available not only after school but in the evenings, so don't let a work schedule hamper a blooming artist of any age.
