COMMUNITY MUSIC SCHOOL ENROLLING NEW STUDENTS FOR FALL

The Community Music School of Webster University offers one-on-one instruction on all instruments of the band and orchestra, piano, guitar, and voice, at three St. Louis locations.  Students of all ages and ability levels can be matched with one of the 80 master music teachers during New Student Registration.  Walk-in registration for the fall session (August 20, 2012 – January 15, 2013) is available at these locations:

• Webster Groves*:  Saturday, August 11, Tuesday, August 14 and Thursday, August 16
• Chesterfield*: Monday, August 13, and Thursday, August 16
• University City*:  Wednesday, August 15
  
  By registering students in person, our staff is able to consider a student’s background, personality, personal motivation and goals, as well as specific needs or requirements, in order to place the student with the most appropriate instructor.  While student attendance at registration is optional, students are welcome to attend with a parent and see the facilities. (Auditions are not required.) Students may register after the walk-in dates by calling their preferred lesson location.   Parents of young children (3-7 yrs.) looking for Young Years classes can download application forms at www.webster.edu/cms/youngyears.
