What We Do
About the Community Music Center
The Community Music Center (CMC) is a Portland Parks & Recreation program in partnership with the nonprofit Community Music Center, Inc. (CMC Inc.). It has been a popular place for music lessons and concerts in Portland since 1955.
CMC enhances the greater Portland community by providing opportunities for all ages to learn about, make and enjoy music. We do this though:
- affordable music classes and lessons,
- free and low-cost concerts and workshops,
- low-cost instrument rentals,
- and other resources for the public,
...all subsidized by the City and the non-profit.
