Our Mission: Transforming lives by granting access to quality music training and performance opportunities.
Our Vision:
We want to create a lively hub for art education and performances. Our goal is to offer high-quality music education without any tuition fees to learners in the region. We will provide music lessons, vocal and instrumental ensemble learning, and opportunities to everyone, regardless of their background. This includes people of all races, genders, ages, and abilities. Additionally, our Community Music Center will organize performances to showcase the talents of our students and faculty. It will also provide learning experiences for music educators and welcome community partners. If you’re interested in supporting our vision, you can contact Rob Calhoon, President and Artistic Director, at rcalhoon@ilcmc.org
Sounds of Illinois Community Music Center (ILCMC) Community Guidelines
This community is a safe space for art enthusiasts of all ages to explore their passions. Respect and kindness are key values, even when discussing differences of opinion. We welcome and celebrate diverse perspectives, but all conversations should remain civil. ILCMC has zero tolerance for profanity and bullying. Any instance of such behavior, whether in person or online, will result in expulsion from the community upon administration review.
Policies and procedures for each class and program, like the Sounds of Illinois Brass Choir Community, will be created with input from the instructor or moderator. Participants must agree to these policies when enrolling, and those who do not agree will not be allowed to participate.
