Welcome to the VCMS
Established 1975
The Vernon Community Music School is a non-profit organization and registered charity…
dedicated to nurturing musical learning, enjoyment and excellence. Various philosophies of instruction give students of all ages an appreciation, enjoyment and knowledge of music. We offer a wide variety of private and group instruction by well-qualified teachers, thus providing the members of the community an excellent opportunity for obtaining a good musical education in the discipline of their choice.
It takes a community to support our Music School. We would like to recognize the following organizations for their contributions to help our Music School grow and thrive, thereby helping to foster future community leaders:
The Galbraith Foundation
Thank you to the Galbraith Foundation for their generous support in helping to ensure our facilities continue to be safe and accessible for everyone.
What to do during a pandemic and there are no groups running? You put together a virtual orchestra, of course! Enjoy!
