Community Music School of Webster University

The Community Music School of Webster University (CMS) proudly celebrates 100 years of exceptional music education for all ages and skill levels. Since 1925, CMS has enriched the St. Louis community through outstanding programs, and this summer is no exception. For the youngest enthusiasts, the cherished Kindermusik® Family Camp offers children aged 6 months to 5 years joyful weekly sessions of singing, playing, and music-making, held in Webster Groves and Chesterfield. Older children and teens can participate in enriching camps like String Orchestra Camp, Chamber Music Encounter, Band Camp, Flute Camp, Saxophone Camp, Popular Songwriting, and Summer Composition Intensive. New for this year is our Summer Jazz Choir for age 14 through adults and we continue to partner with Missouri Chamber Music Festival (MOCM) for the Adult Chamber Music Intensive. These programs provide immersive, collaborative experiences that nurture talent, creativity, and lifelong friendships for all ages.

Additionally, CMS offers a six-week summer session of individual lessons for all ages, perfect for those starting a new instrument or refining existing skills. Except for Kindermusik, all programs are held at the CMS Center on Webster University’s campus in Webster Groves.
