It's official!  Friday, July 11 we're hosting a Student Showcase at the Variety Playhouse in Little 5 Points. The 8 pm show will feature an intergenerational line up students, faculty, alumni, alumnae, and friends performing a mix of jazz, rock and roots standards, covers and originals. This is an incredible opportunity to be part of a fun show we're producing ourselves at Atlanta's best music venue!  Best of all, through participating in or coming to the Showcase young performers and audience will be supporting our outreach to under-resourced youth.

Piano teacher and CMC Director Diana Orozco studied music and music education at the Oberlin College-Conservatory. She has taught on faculty, in workshops, and in summer day camps at a number of Atlanta area schools; she was the pre-primary-6th grade music teacher at The Children’s School in Midtown Atlanta from 2000-2013. Since moving to Atlanta in the mid 1990's, Diana has been cultivating young pianists. Before opening the Music Center, she maintained a piano studio of 30 or more students from her home in the Morningside neighborhood of Atlanta. Diana is particularly interested in teaching elementary school-aged children. Her training at The Children's School has focused on a variety of educational issues, including extensive training in differentiated learning styles and brain-based methodologies. She also studied arts management at the graduate level through an on-line series of courses offered by the University of Massachusetts.

The weather forecast suggests there could be more snow and ice across metro Atlanta this week, and most schools have closed in response.  We always post local Center and program closures on our web site.  Please check back for updates.  Our general rule of thumb is to follow the local school calendar, unless circumstances warrant otherwise.    

We are tracking the history of school and related CMC Atlanta program closures this term, and we will post make up options for missed lessons and AMP days as it becomes clear how school districts will adjust their calendars in response to this winter's unusual number of winter weather related interruptions.
