CMC Inc. Programs
What we do
Instrument Rentals
Thanks to generous donations, low-cost string instrument rentals are available to CMC students and other current Parks & Recreation music participants, with priority given first to scholarship students, then youth, then adults.
Use the button to request service, return appointment, new instrument, or repair, via an online form.
Scholarships & Awards
CMC provides both need-based and merit-based scholarships, generously funded by individual, foundation and corporate donors to CMC and to CMC's endowments managed by the Oregon Community Foundation.
For more information, contact the CMC Director.

Music Library
CMC maintains a lending library of sheet music and some books and recordings for student and teacher use. Materials have been donated over the years. (Currently not accepting new donations of sheet music).
Other Program Support
The non-profit CMC Inc. provides vital financial contributions and leadership in areas where PP&R may not have the means or expertise. Join us in making CMC the best we can!
