STEP UP TO THE CHALLENGE: Help us raise $60,000 by March 15. Every $2 raised will be matched by $1 from two Settlement board members!

The Cleveland Music School Settlement is proud to count in its list of alumni folk singer Tracy Chapman, tenor Seth McCoy and violinist Jaime Laredo. Many past students are in professional careers on the concert stage, in conservatories and in orchestras around the country, and Settlement music therapy interns have become outstanding leaders in the field of music therapy. Over the past 90 years, the Settlement has shaped the lives of thousands of others, who, in turn, have contributed to the building of a stronger community.

Did you attend The Cleveland Music School Settlement as a student–did you take private music lessons, attend the Day School or Preschool, take dance lessons, play in the orchestra or jazz ensemble?

We want to reconnect with alumni and hear about your past experiences at the Settlement. What influences gave you a greater appreciation of the arts? Was there a particular teacher or memorable moment that made an impact on you? How have the arts remained a part of your adult life? What do you remember best about the Settlement–studying in the listening lab located in the old stables, participating in the annual Christmas Caroling, exploring the mansion before or after a lesson, the detailing of the plaster ceilings or carvings of the woodwork, the warmth, sounds and colors of the old preschool classrooms or as a preschooler balancing on the retaining wall with the help of mom on the way to the car?

Friends of the Settlement

Throughout the Settlement's 90-plus year history, volunteers have provided support that has helped the Settlement to better serve the needs of the community. As the Settlement counts down to its 100th anniversary in 2012, many exciting projects will require the talent and creativity of dedicated volunteers. Opportunities to volunteer include planning fund-raising, friend-raising and special events, hosting recitals and musical performances, assisting in the administrative offices and archiving.
