Education has been a priority for the CPMHOF from the beginning, but only recently has the organization grown to the level that would allow for it to make a meaningful impact. To that end, the Education Committee was formed in late 2024 with people from the local music community who share the same passion. Contemporary music is our focus, but that does not limit our desire to provide help where needed.
We are currently in an exploratory period where we will be speaking with music teachers in our local public and private schools for advice and guidance. The CPMHOF is a strong organization and access to resources will be available. How best to utilize those resources is our current mission.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please email education@CPMHOF.com.
You can also reach out directly to any of the committee members listed below.
