The Consonus Music Institute (CMI) is dedicated to ensuring success for teachers, students and, schools. Our emphasis on non-traditional instruments makes classroom music instruction more relevant to today’s students, while continuing to value the essential role of traditional music programs. We measure success in terms of the growth of student music participation.

Our courseware, teacher training, and technology give every teacher the ability to produce high-quality instructional outcomes, regardless of their instrumental proficiency level and teaching experience with non-traditional instruments such as guitar, ukulele, and world percussion. In this way we try to enhance each teacher’s individual value to their students and to their school.

The CMI classroom music education system is designed to infuse every student with a lifelong passion for playing music individually and in an ensemble, while building teacher confidence and strengthening music instruction programs in every educational setting, making music accessible, affordable, effective, and fun.
