Letter from the Director
Welcome to the Moores School of Music Preparatory & Continuing Studies Department! I’m thrilled to join this program, which ensures community-wide access to quality arts instruction. I believe that music participation has a lifelong impact on individuals, and that appreciation of the arts is a powerful, shared gift to be enjoyed throughout our greater society.
Since its inception in 1998, PCS has fostered musical excellence in the greater Houston community through private instruction and group classes, professional development courses, and community outreach initiatives. Our program is a non-credit, non-degree granting program that serves hundreds of students, of all ages and skill levels, every year. Students study and perform at the Moores School of Music and throughout the city. Our highly skilled instructors include Moores School of Music Faculty and graduate students, internationally known guest artists and clinicians, as well as area specialists.
PCS is also proud to offer the Lisa & Agbo Abiola Initiative in Music Education, which provides music instruction to students at the Third Ward Head Start Program, University of Houston Child Care Center, Challenge Early College High School, and Yellowstone Academy. In addition, we are the proud host of the annual Kodály Institute of Houston certification program.
We are committed to engaging our community and changing lives through the power of music. Whether you are just beginning your musical study, continuing your studies for personal enrichment, or looking for professional development in music education, PCS has a program for you. Please come and discover the musician inside of you.
Sincerely,
Toni Capra
