School of Music

The CMU School of Music's growth has been fueled by the work of a dedicated faculty of artist/teachers, a rigorous curriculum and the outstanding accomplishments of our students and alumni. Through degree programs, outreach to the schools and community, and research, creative activity, and service to the discipline, the School of Music has become the nexus of a cultural/music network that extends from the elementary general music classroom to the concert stage, from mid-Michigan to the nation and beyond.

Central Michigan University’s Office of Research and Sponsored Programs provided the initial funding for White Pine Music. They continue to actively support this and other creative activity and scholarship throughout the CMU community.

The mission of the Office of Research and Sponsored Programs is to foster high-quality scholarship and sponsored projects throughout the CMU community and to simultaneously assure compliance with university and sponsor regulations.

The Sphinx Music Organization is committed to envisioning a world in which classical music reflects cultural diversity and plays a role in the everyday lives of youth. It is their mission to increase the participation of Blacks and Latinos in music schools, as professional musicians, as classical music audiences, and to administer youth development initiatives in under served communities through music education.

Wheatland Music Organization, Inc. is based near Remus, Michigan. Founded in 1974, the charitable and educational organization has grown from offering a single event, to offering activities year-round, to meet its mission of preserving and presenting the traditional arts. Traditional arts are considered those learned person to person, passed from generation to the next, and influenced by culture, family, ethnicity, and era.
