The Community Music School of Webster University has been offering outstanding music education and performance opportunities to students of all ages in the St. Louis region since 1925. Individual lessons are the core of our school, and with over 90 instructors (over 85% with advanced degrees) there is an instructor that is a perfect fit for you! CMS also offers early childhood and beginner music classes including the internationally-recognized Kindermusik® curriculum.
For an in-depth experience, CMS has one of the only Suzuki Strings programs in the area. Students start as young as age 4 learning string instruments, along with their parent, in individual lessons and group classes. Other CMS programs include sequential orchestra programs for school-aged children (String Ensemble, String Orchestra, YPCO and YPSO), chamber music programs, and summer camps.
