Want to know what a typical week at the CMC is really like? Click here!

Imagine.  You.  Off-campus.  Way off. Come to an island in the Atlantic Ocean that's home to hundreds of other musicians, painters, writers and celebrities.  Spend an entire semester in one of the coolest, most creative places on earth, with people who love music as much as you.  Be one of 30 students chosen each semester from more than 100 campuses to participate in an exclusive four-month long residency at the nation's only artist community for musicians.  Then imagine staying back at school doing the same old same old.  No contest.  The CMC is a great place to be.

Things To Do
Tennis, basketball, volleyball, swimming, boating, wind surfing and ice skating are all available right on the property. And there's plenty of room to run, hike and bike throughout the Island's many wildlife sanctuaries and nature preserves. Boating, fishing, scuba diving, golfing and horseback riding are all available nearby, or if you're in a scholarly mood, visit one of the six excellent town libraries.
