Founded in 1993, the Michigan State University (MSU) Community Music School (CMS) is the outreach division of the MSU College of Music. CMS brings music education and music therapy to those of all ages and abilities within the Greater Lansing community. Founded on the belief that music dramatically enhances the quality of life, CMS offers opportunities for the study, appreciation, and therapeutic use of music while nurturing the musical development of all. At CMS, students and therapy clients are brought together with music professionals, who are committed to sharing their extraordinary gifts by offering accessible and affordable music instruction, music therapy, and performance opportunities for all interested community members.

We are conveniently located off-campus, on the eastern edge of East Lansing, just north of Burcham Road (map and driving directions) with plenty of free parking.
