study art & music programs
CSMA offers music and art classes, both on-site and off-site.
Our on-site programs include:
music
CSMA provides private lessons, classes and workshops at its Finn Center campus to thousands of students every year. Our multi-lingual faculty of more than 70 professional musicians and educators teach students of all ages (preschool through seniors) to develop skills and a love of music. CSMA offers year-round private instruction on all major instruments and classes in classical, contemporary, jazz, world music and popular styles.
art
CSMA's Visual Arts Department at Finn Center offers the region's most accessible educational venue to begin, resume or continue creating art. Our year-round, comprehensive program for all ages-preschoolers, youth, teens and adults—provides a diverse choice of level-appropriate, small classes providing individualized attention in a challenging, supportive, non-graded environment.
new media
Computers are 21st century creative tools opening up expressive potential in imaginative work. At CSMA our progressive curriculum focuses on creative practice with a strong foundation in technological understanding.
CSMA instructors are highly active recognized artists, designers, performers, and composers, who have shown work throughout Europe, the U.S. and Asia.
preschool
Join us in our preschool music and art classes where children (ages 12 months-5 years) explore with hands-on activities and go home with lots of fun ideas and lessons. We work with age-appropriate themes that allow children to explore, learn and create in a safe environment. Taught by experienced faculty, classes offer an exceptional opportunity for parent/caregiver and child to share special time together experiencing the joys of music and art. To provide a complete arts experience, many of our classes are designed to be taken back-to-back on the same day, but classes may be taken separately.
camps
CSMA camps at Finn Center provide children the opportunity to express, explore, create and enjoy the arts in a relaxing, safe and fun environment. Our faculty of professional artists, musicians and educators work with children to create a stimulating, nurturing experience for young artists to share the joy of performing on a stage, making music, art and new friends.
