\"ContemporaryAbout Us<\/span><\/p>\n

Founded in Chantilly, Virginia 1989, Contemporary Music Center was established on the simple principle that everyone deserves the chance to learn a musical instrument. Our vision incorporated what has become known as a \u201cKids at Hope\u201d philosophy:\u00a0 all students are capable of success, no exception.\u00a0 In 1989 there was a need for a fresh approach in showing others how to learn to play music: an approach that both embraced the long-standing traditional method of teaching music but also an approach that incorporated technology, and most of all, the simple understanding of enjoyment while learning. \u00a0CMC developed its staff around the single idea that making music should be enjoyable, creative, disciplined, expressive and available to all.<\/p>\n

In 2004 CMC expanded its footprint opening its second retail\/music education facility in Haymarket, Virginia. \u00a0In 2013 CMC continued to expand its vision by including a third viable component:\u00a0 an intimate Listening Room at the Haymarket location–@4410. \u00a0The unique idea and creative room design later won Contemporary Music Center NAMM\u2019s coveted Dealer of the Year Award in 2016.<\/p>\n

Also in 2013 CMC\u2019s story won the cover of Music Inc Magazine for its successful \u201cRock Camp\u201d program. \u00a0The article entitled \u201cThe King of Rock Camp,\u201d features reflections on how Contemporary Music Center\u2019s approach to music education increased the interest of music students, accelerated their growth, and increased their initial interest in learning to play music.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, CMC is not just a retail store that sells products.\u00a0 We sell the idea that music offers something for everyone.\u00a0 Students, young and old, take lessons, join classes such as song writing, participate in rock band camps, and perform individually or with their groups in @4410 which is open to the public.\u00a0 We connect with the local school music directors and support their individual programs by offering @4410 for their events.\u00a0 Overall, we try to incorporate families, schools, and the entire community in our world of music, and we hope that this universal language of music brings everyone together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Growing Up in a Musical Family<\/a><\/h4><\/header>
\n

As a musician growing up I was fortunate to be blessed with a unique resource. My father was a jazz saxophonist, and to this day I often pull from the knowledge I gained from our conversations we had about music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
