Welcome to CMC Atlanta 
Decatur, Dunwoody, Little 5 Points & Brookhaven

Our four neighborhood community music schools offer an array of historically-informed, innovative music education programs for students age 4 and up.  The opportunities run the gamut from Studio Lessons, which entail a standing appointment for a weekly private lesson, to immersion in after school programs, gap programs, and even apprenticeship and artist residency programs for emerging professional musicians and teachers who are working toward or have already earned undergraduate or graduate degrees in music.  We have something for everyone, ages 4 and up, from beginner to pre professional levels.

Atlanta Music High School

Opened August 2017, Atlanta Music High School (AMHS) provides a unique educational opportunity for passionate music students grades 6-8 (Prep) and grades 9-12. AMHS offers the courses, faculty, and other resources, including designated time, for younger dedicated music students to develop a strong foundation, and for older students to cultivate advanced technical skills, musical insights and artistic expression, regardless of stylistic interests.


Whether you are just starting out or well on your way to developing a gratifying and authentic personal musical practice, we encourage you to compare our programs to find one that harmonizes well with your interests, goals and resources.  We've organized our program catalogue by age groups so you can hone in on opportunities for you or your student.

    Atlanta Music High School 
    for students grades 6-8 (prep), 9-12

    In 2017, CMC Atlanta teamed up with AdvancEd/SACS accredited Capstone Academy to create Atlanta Music High School. Prior to AMHS, there simply was not a private conservatory option for Atlanta teens to pursue rigorous academic and deep immersion in pre-professional musical training. Many students had to compromise either their academic pursuits or passionate pursuit of musical creativity, or they’d leave Atlanta to board at expensive out of state high schools like Interlochen Arts Academy or the North Carolina School of the Arts.

    At the core of meeting the AMHS mission are musical studies that fall into three categories. First, AMHS students enroll in private lessons, usually called applied music in

    GAP  
    Gap Year and Apprenticeship Programs for young adults

    It's no secret, college is very expensive.  it's also obvious to clear thinking folks that not every high school graduate is ready to enroll in college immediately. Sometimes a year spent doing something valuable or personally meaningful is the ideal last step in college prep.  Some college graduates or undergraduates also need a year off before continuing studies or moving on to grad school or into the work force.  And frankly, many creative and talented people are better off not going to college at all.  The latter statement is a bold, maybe even radical proposition, but it's one worth considering.  

    We developed our Gap and Apprenticeship Program (GAP) for young adults who
