The Eastman Community Music School (ECMS) prides itself on its motto of, “All Ages. All Abilities. All instruments.” We believe it is never too late to try something new and develop new passions. Making music requires discipline, adaptability, and heart—all of which are exceptional qualities shared with the military experience. Veterans returning to the civilian life may be looking for creative outlets or an opportunity to pursue music professionally. ECMS is committed to supporting all veterans and transitioning service members at any stage of their musical pursuits.
The Eastman Community Music School is a part of the University of Rochester, a Yellow Ribbon School. For more information, please visit the U of R Military Benefits Page.
The University of Rochester is committed to serving as a resource to veteran students and their families. The Financial Aid Office works in conjunction with the Veteran and Military Family Services Office to determine award eligibility and to make sure that it is disbursed to the student’s account when applicable.
Experience the joy of music making at ECMS and enrich your life and the lives of your family and community through music.
