Our mission is to produce world-class chamber music concerts, promote and support classical music learning opportunities, especially in our schools, and create awareness of the value and significance of fine music. We believe that live music should be accessible to all; it expands creativity, enhances intelligence and enriches the spirit. In 2020, MVCMS loaned instruments to students, including all those purchased by MVYouth. Supporting the 2nd Grade Strings Project in Oak Bluffs School, we provided 18 violins so that two classes had lessons every week. When schools closed for the pandemic students kept their instruments to continue their studies at home. Our cello instruction, begun in 2018, continued with a new instructor with 10 students receiving lessons. Four new students received lessons in school and older students, 6th-12th grade were scheduled after school. These lessons continued into May online. Our plans for the Intensive String Ensemble, in spring, and Artist in Residence, in fall, were derailed when schools went virtual. String teachers continued their work online with students and were able to celebrate several solo performances by older students in the spring. However, group ensembles have not been possible. This fall we continued loaning instruments (and up-sizing) to students. Teaching continues individually online; group instruction remains difficult. Consequently, we have planned virtual skills groups and mini concerts to begin in January. MVCMS is dedicated to supporting music in schools and is adjusting accordingly.
