Music Together Winter Sessions Begin January 10
Welcome to the Community Music School of the Piedmont’s (CMSP) Music Together Winter Session! You and your child (ages 0-5) to learn and connect with other like-minded music lovers in a joyful and supportive environment.
CMSP believe that all children are musical. Music Together classes are founded on the recognition that every child can learn to sing in tune, maintain a beat, and confidently participate in the music of our culture, provided they have an early environment that encourages such learning.
It’s more than just a music class, it’s an opportunity for you and your little one to bond, explore musical concepts, and become part of a vibrant community!
Uncork Your Dreams with DeeAnn Jeremiah at Slater Run
On January 18, Life Coach DeeAnn Jeremiah will be leading a guided workshop that blends thoughtful reflection with the art of wine tasting.

Through facilitated discussion, visioning exercises, and curated wine selections, you’ll explore where you are, where you’re headed, and how to intentionally shape the path forward.
Expect meaningful conversation, fresh perspective, and a relaxed atmosphere where insight flows as easily as the wine. The wines will be paired with a selection of cheese, charcuterie, and accoutrements.
