Member Spotlight: Cumberland Valley School of Music
Cumberland Valley School of Music (CVSM) is a nonprofit organization providing high-quality, diverse musical instruction and related artistic experiences that have enriched the creative lives of our community since 1990. An average of 750 participants each semester – newborn through seasoned citizens – are served by CVSM with instruction provided in music, drama and more through individual and group lessons, camps, workshops, ensembles and classes. Live performance opportunities are provided through events such as recitals, concerts and the annual Performathon. Additionally, the school sponsors scholarship programs to ensure instruction is accessible to all.
CVSM strongly believes that the benefits of the study of music and participation in musical activities extend beyond musical proficiency to academic and vocational performance, social skills development and enhancement, and life experience enrichment. Current pARTnerships include The Boys and Girls Club of Chambersburg and Shippensburg (children’s choir), NETwork Ministries (piano, drum & guitar lessons), First Start Partnerships for Children and Families (Arts Integrated Preschool in 14 classrooms), Pathstone Child and Development Center (preschool and toddler music classes), Global Vision Christian School (music lessons) and House of Grace (music activities).
CVSM has two locations and three satellites. The Chambersburg location (on the Wilson College campus) has 16 teaching studios and a public music store. The Greencastle location (on the square) has seven teaching studios and a public music store. The satellites are in Waynesboro, Mercersburg and Hagerstown. The current brochure, class listings, faculty biographies and much more information can be found on the website cvsmusic.org.
