Frequently Asked Questions

Where do we Perform?

In previous years, we have performed at St Gregory the Great Episocpal Church in Athens, GA. It is the perfect fit for our club with its large chapel and reception space.

I have never played an instrument before, could I join CMS?

Yes! Everyone starts somewhere and our group is designed to accomodate a wide-range of differing skill levels. No matter how long you have been playing for, we will make sure to pair you with others who have similar experience.

I'm very busy this semester, can I still be in CMS?

We understand that each member of CMS is a full time student and juggles many assignments, exams, and personal hobbies. This is why CMS allows its ensembles the flexibility to create their own practice schedules so that CMS does not interfere with school work. We aim to provide a stress-free environment where students can focus on music and get their mind off of their classes!

What are the Costs?

There is a $10 membership fee to join CMS. This covers costs concerning concert hall rentals, marketing, and insutrcution.

How much time does it take?

We recommend weekly rehearsals with your ensemble. We do ask for the entire concert to perform together in a mid-semester masterclass and lastly at our end of semester recital.

Will there be Instruction Given?

Yes, we will offer instructors. There will be a required mid-semester masterclass taught by graduate students and UGA music professors. Additionally, board members will be available to advise ensembles are provide coaching contacts if students care for additional practice!
