Through Wittenberg’s Center for Musical Development (CMD), children, teens and adults have access to expert instruction on a variety of instruments including: piano, organ, strings (including guitar and lute), wind instruments: flute, piccolo, clarinet, bassoon, saxophone, trumpet, french horn, and all percussion instruments; voice, and Suzuki Violin.

After taking music lessons in high school through CMD, I found myself very prepared to pursue a Bachelor’s degree at the College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati. I would recommend CMD to anyone who wants to grow immensely in their musical artistry – whether it be a hobby or a career.
