Creative Music Studio

Creative Music Studio (CMS) is an innovative music education and research organization founded by composer David Behrman and his collaborators in the 1970s. It focuses on fostering creativity in music through improvisation and exploration rather than traditional music instruction. CMS provides a collaborative environment where musicians of all levels can experiment with sound, technology, and composition. The studio emphasizes the idea of music as a living, evolving practice, encouraging participants to develop their unique artistic voices. Its approach has influenced many contemporary musicians and educators by promoting a hands-on, playful engagement with music-making.
