Claremont Community School of Music

About Us

1970…four music teachers….a church basement….a school is born!

This was the musical DNA that launched the Claremont Community School of Music. Noting the void created by cuts in public school music programs, these four dedicated music teachers conceived the idea for the creation of a community school of music. For over 49 years, the Claremont Community School of Music has been synonymous with quality and commitment. Our dedicated and talented faculty provide musical instruction of the highest caliber to students from diverse backgrounds and at all levels of musical development.

The school is a member of the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts, the National Federation of Music Clubs, and boasts several faculty holding membership in the Music Teachers of California professional society.

Claremont Community School of Music has been honored to receive the support of such varied organizations as the City of Claremont, the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, the Weingart Foundation, the Getty Foundation, the Ahmanson Foundation, the Union Pacific Foundation, the James Irvine Foundation, McMaster Carr Corporation, and the Claremont Community Foundation among others for its fine work in music education through the years.
