Community Music Education Program

(CMEP)

Since 1988, the Community Music Education Program (CMEP) has offered music in early childhood classes to the Saskatoon community. Previously housed within the U of S, CMEP is now owned and operated by Wilton Academy Of Music and located in venues within the community which it serves, offering the SAME programming and staff that so many have come to love and trust. With that comes the continued commitment of quality music education for young children.

Since 1988, the Community Music Education Program (CMEP) has played a foundational role in bringing early childhood music education to Saskatoon. Initially housed within the University of Saskatchewan, CMEP built a reputation for excellence through its high-quality programming and dedicated teaching staff.

In 2024, CMEP entered a new chapter as it became part of Wilton Academy of Music—a transition designed to preserve and continue its trusted legacy. While the name has changed, the heart of the program remains the same:

• The same instructors families have come to know and trust
• The same curriculum and musical philosophy rooted in early childhood development
• A renewed focus on community-based venues to improve accessibility and outreach

This transition ensures the long-term sustainability of a program that has already shaped generations of young musicians. As Wilton Academy of Music, we remain firmly committed to nurturing a lifelong love of music—starting from the very first note.
