The Center for Musical Arts is a year-round community music school in Lafayette, affiliated with the Colorado Music Festival, offering lessons, ensembles and classes from infant-and-caregiver music through adult instruction. It runs a number of mini-camps over the summer for a variety of ages, alongside classes for roughly 5- to 12-year-olds that introduce instruments such as piano and ukulele and put students into ensembles.

Powered by GoogleWonderful art studio supporting our next generation of artists. Update: still amazing teachers. Still an awesome influence on the community. Love this place.
Our family have been taking lessons with the Center for Musical Arts for almost a decade. This school is truly amazing. The teachers here are excellent and very dedicated. The school creates a feel of family and community. Over the years, my two sons turned into incredible musicians. They are still taking lessons at CMA but they also have been very successful in their high school jazz bands, concert bands, and marching bands. CMA has instilled in my sons a passion of music that will last a lifetime. The school is not only about kids. They also have classes for adults. I have been taking advantage of this and I have been involved in several of their programs (Bella A Cappella, Broadway Boomers, voice lessons). Going to the school is definitely one of the high spots of my week. Another great thing about CMA is that they won't turn away anybody. People with low income can get discounted lessons. They also have cheap rentals for students who cannot afford their instruments. CMA believes that everyone could make music. They call it: "Music for all" and they are very successful at it. There is something for everyone at the Center for Musical Arts no matter of the age, ability, or bank account size. I love the Center for Musical Arts. This is as good as it gets.
My child has had piano and drum lessons at this place. Let’s just say that this is the best music lesson place in Colorado. This place has talented teachers and amazing equipment. The concert hall is spectacular as well.
My family has gotten music lessons here for the past 10 years. From beginner lessons when my kids were new to their instruments to advanced lessons as they got into middle and high school, CMF has always been there for us. My kids learned piano and violin from a few different teachers and I took guitar lessons as an beginning adult. No matter your age, instrument, or experience level, CMF is a great place to be. They also have instrument rentals at flexible prices to accommodate any budget. They work with families of all income levels to make sure they can bring the joy of music to all. As their motto states, "music for all, for life"
Truly a music school for any student - children, parents, other adults, skill level from novice to pre-professional; all instruments including voice; an instrument loaner program; this school is unbeatable. The faculty include some of the best around, and are an unsung attribute of the school. Quite possibly the best school in Colorado.
