CHARLESTON-The Charleston Academy of Music (CAM) is excited to start a new semester on January 10, 2011. CAM believes giving young students an instrument is like giving them a tool to open their inner voices. Many young students do not know about this tool which can help them to recognize who they are, allowing them to reach their highest potential in life. CAM offers the highest quality of music instruction for all skill levels in piano, violin, viola, cello, classical guitar, and voice. Included in the private instruction are Strings Workshops, Guitar Ensembles, Performance Classes, Theory Classes, and Master Classes. CAM also hosts a variety of programs such as the Honors Program and Outreach Program, which includes the Satellite Program at Charleston Day School and Meeting Street Academy, home of the Kidzymphony Orchestra Program. CAM accepts students of all ages, regardless of financial status. CAM is equipped to offer a complete music education to prepare serious students for professional careers as musicians and music educators, and to create lifelong promoters of classical music.

CAM’s various programs are possible thanks to kind supporters, including: National Endowment for the Arts, SC Arts Commission, Coastal Community Foundation, Jerry & Anita Zucker Foundation, Henry & Sylvia Yaschik Foundation, Hertzman-Fishman Foundation, Joanna Foundation, Bakker Family Fund, Harriet & Linda Ripinsky Foundation, Post & Courier Foundation, and private donors. CAM students continue to excel musically and academically, winning major competitions, participating in recognized music festivals and concerts, and being accepted as scholarship recipients into the major universities.
