Summer Performance Workshop

The CMC Atlanta Summer Performance Workshop provides middle and high school students (including recent graduates) the opportunity to play music they love with peers and faculty.  With an emphasis on small ensemble performance (rock band, jazz combo, etc.), students can choose to perform just about any style of music, including jazz, rock, folk, country, American roots, hip hop and more.  

The Summer Performance Workshop is open to both singers and instrumentalists, and individual students can rotate between different roles in the ad hoc and standing ensembles we create in the Performance Workshop.  

Students can attend Full Day (9 to 4 pm) or Half Day morning (9-12:30).

Workshop includes:

  • small ensemble rehearsal and performance
  • group music theory classes to cultivate literacy, understanding of scales, chords, and keys
  • classes on harmony and song design for more advanced students  
  • private coaching on primary instrument or in vocal performance for singers

We design and run our Performance Workshop using the same values, goals, and principles that have made our programs popular with parents and students alike:

  • we group students by age, skill level, and interests CMC Atlanta students perform at the Dogwood Festival
  • we understand discipline as a tool for reaching goals, but emphasize experiential learning and we keep it fun
  • we analyze and respond well to differentiated learning styles and different musical goals,
  • we limit enrollment so the students receive individual attention, and most importantly,
  • we empower students to take control of their own creative output. 

Best of all, our Performance Workshops are staffed by our professional team of expert faculty and camp counselors, and tuition is very reasonably priced.

Day Pass

Sometimes parents don't want or need to enroll a student in full or half day camp for a full week.  In this situation, we offer Music School Day Passes, which allow for a day of camp attendance on chosen days:

  • Full Day Pass, $95 per day, drop off begins at 8 am, pickup ends at 6 pm
  • Half Day Pass $75 per day, morning or afternoon 

To purchase Day Passes, simply fill out the Day Camp Registration Form and choose from among the Music School Day Pass options provided.  

After making your payment, you can register to use the Music School Day Pass for any day, in any camp, at any location for up to one year, with limits.  IMPORTANT!  Please note:  Music School Day Pass spots are limited and offered on a first-come-first-served basis.  Spots are reserved by purchase, payment and then completion of the Music School Day Pass portion of the Day Camp Registration Form.  With rare exception, we require 24 hours notice of a parent's intent to use a Music School Day Pass.  The more advance notice you provide by completing the form, the more likely it is there will be a spot open for a student.  You should assume that your enrollment dates are accepted once you receive a confirmation message from a CMC Atlanta Director or authorized faculty member.
