Labs focus on building instrument and vocal skills in small groups. Ensembles bring students together to rehearse and perform as bands. Industry Training covers songwriting, recording, stagecraft, and other real-world music skills. Together, they give students a complete music education.
School bands focus on ensemble playing, while private lessons focus on individual skills. CMI combines both — students collaborate in Labs and Ensembles, perform regularly, and also learn songwriting, recording, and production. It’s a complete pathway that prepares young musicians for real-world opportunities.
