There are many ways for area arts lovers to experience the incredible talent of CCM's students and faculty members.
You don't have to be a college student to study the arts at CCM. Arts enthusiasts of all ages and abilities can register for CCM Prep's year-round music, dance or theatre arts classes!
In addition to school-year programs and private lessons, CCM also offers Arts-focused Summer Programs for children ages 3-17, as well as workshops for college students and adults. These immersive workshops are open to those looking for fun summer learning experiences and motivated students who are preparing for a future in the performing arts.
CCM students and alumni can bring world-class artistry to your holiday or birthday party, wedding or special event. The college's Talent For Hire referral service connects Greater Cincinnati with a range of student and alumni artists and ensembles — from string trios to jazz quartets to singers and more.
CCM offers arts elective courses in the fall, spring and summer semesters. These credit-granting courses are open to all UC students and cover a wide range of topics including dance, movies and media, music and theatre arts!
