Cumberland Valley School

Founded in 1990, the Cumberland Valley School of Music (CVSM) is a non-profit organization and a full member of the National Guild for Community Arts Education. Our offices and primary studios are located in Thomson Hall at Wilson College, where we offer a wide range of lessons, classes, workshops, and summer camps and present recitals and concerts in the beautiful Thomson Alumnae Chapel, which houses two Steinway Concert Grand pianos and a recently renovated Moller Organ.

We are creating a musical community where high quality instruction and performance opportunities are available to all. We believe that the benefits of the study of music and the participation in musical activities extend beyond musical proficiency to academic and vocational performance, social skills and enriching one's life experiences.

Cumberland Valley School of Music has helped build a solid foundation for many high performing adults. Alumni include doctors, attorneys, airline pilots, teachers, managers, nurses and ministers. Others include business owners, homemakers, caregivers, mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. Together they won a Grammy for the audio work on President Barack Obama's "Audacity of Hope" audiobook. At CVSM, Tim studied voice with Peg Weeks and Richard Overcash and guitar with Geoff Weeks. Jessica studied voice with Ronda Zeger.
