COMMUNITY MUSIC SCHOOL of SANTA CRUZ
We enrich the lives of students, teachers, professional musicians, and the community through music education, performance, and appreciation. We do this by hosting music workshops, concerts, summer camps, and ongoing ensembles for musicians age seven and up; maintaining a free database of local music teachers; placing donated musical instruments with people or organizations who need them; offering music instrument “petting zoos” at community events; and publishing a free monthly e-newsletter that lists upcoming concerts and music-related events around the Monterey Bay area.

Musicians ages 12-18 are welcome to participate in our Celtic teen band, which meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month on the westside of Santa Cruz.
