“Try it – you’ll like it!”

I talk to many people in my work. When I am representing our school at fairs, expos and the like, I try to help parents understand that you don’t have to be talented to take classes in the arts. Sometimes when someone hears the name “CCM” (College-Conservatory of Music) they automatically assume that one has to already be judged as “talented” to be allowed into CCM Prep.“No, No” I say as fast as I can, before they move on to the next booth. We offer programs in the arts for everyone – young and old, beginner or advanced, novice or career focused. You see, everyone has to start somewhere. And there is no timeline attached to that entry point.
Children are natural sponges and will try anything. As Pablo Picasso stated, “every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain one when we grow up.” At CCM Prep we encourage everyone to explore their artistic side. On Saturday, May 21, you’ll be able to try out classes yourself here at CCM. We have acting and voice classes, dance classes, theory classes and stage combat classes for students from age four through high school to try out. You’ll also have the chance to hear our music students in several different recitals happening during the day, as well as meet everyone at a free picnic sponsored by CCM Prep staff. You’ll even be able to preregister for fall classes or register for summer camps that day.
So join us and let your child explore the arts in a friendly, accessible way on May 21. Visit our website at www.ccm.uc.edu/prep for our complete schedule.
