For more than a decade, the Southeastern Community Music School at Southeastern Louisiana University has effectively provided the entire Northshore region with a vital community-based program of music education. Our primary mission is to bring the gift of music to as many students (children and adults) as possible, thereby making our entire region a more musically "dynamic" and culturally vibrant area in which to live.
In planning for our expansion into Livingston Parish, I have been most impressed with the enthusiastic support offered by the entire Livingston Parish school district and, in particular, Ms Joan Gunter (Southeastern's director at the Livingston Center). I look forward to a splendid collaboration with them and am delighted to extend Southeastern's musical resources to such a sizeable and deserving segment of our southeast Louisiana community. I am pleased to report that we already have more than 70 students enrolled, and continue to field many additional inquiries. Clearly, this is a musical resource whose time has come!
Students who register for CMS music instruction at the Livingston Center will receive a variety of benefits, including first-rate private instrumental and/or vocal instruction, public performance opportunities, development of music knowledge and appreciation, and the chance to learn from Southeastern's own expert roster of student instructors and faculty. Additionally, selected high school students with an especially serious interest in their music studies can explore enrolling in the brand new Northshore School for the Arts, and eventually become scholarship music students at Southeastern Louisiana University.
Our plan is to begin emphasizing private music instruction among our four primary areas: strings, piano, voice, and guitar. Additional instruments will be offered on a case by case basis, along with supplemental classes and ensembles. We plan to hold two 13-week terms during the fall and spring, with an abbreviated summer session. The tuition for a single term ranges between $200-$250, depending on the classification of the instructor. For more detailed information about registration, fees and instruction, please contact the Southeastern Community Music School office at 985-549-5502, or the Livingston Literacy and Technology Center office at 225-665-3303.
For now, thank you for welcoming us into your community and continuing to support music education in southeast Louisiana!
