The joy of making music belongs to everyone.
Community Music Center (CMC) was founded in 1921 with the mission of making music accessible to all people, regardless of their financial status.

Last school year, CMC served nearly 2,400 students of all ages, levels and financial backgrounds in the San Francisco Bay Area. With high quality instructors and affordable music classes of all kinds, CMC believes that:
- A quality music education doesn’t have to be expensive.
- Making music together has the power to connect people.
- Everyone has a song inside. What’s yours?
