Center for Musical Arts Announces Free and Remote Fall Programs

This fall, the Center for Musical Arts (CMA) is offering a number of programs and opportunities geared toward connecting communities through music during a time of continued social distancing and remote learning. "We know from years of research that the benefits of music education are extensive - including reducing stress and anxiety, increasing cognitive function and supporting good health," said Kathy Kucsan, education director of the Center for Musical Art. "Access is a core value for the Center for Musical Arts. Our Heartstrings Program provides need-based tuition and low or no cost instrument rentals, making it possible for anyone to take lessons or play an instrument. No one is ever turned away for lack of ability to pay. As many families consider different ways to educate and entertain their children during a challenging time, we hope to serve as a supportive resource for enhancing learning experiences."
