The audio and video recording studio at CMS features three unique recording spaces and a nine-iMac education lab with the latest technology, equipment, and software found in professional recording studios.  Students, age 12+, can gain hands-on experience with industry-standard recording technology, including Logic, Final Cut, Sibelius, Waves, Allen and Heath, Neve, and Neumann, through a variety of recording classes.

The studio offers recording spaces for individual and ensemble musical performances, both instrumental and vocal.  A 10’x12’ recording isolation room and the 150-seat Dorothy H. Baker Recital Hall are both wired for recording directly to the acoustically-treated control room and education lab.  The Dorothy H. Baker Recital Hall features the unique aesthetics and acoustics of the former dining room of the Lehigh Valley Social Club. 

In 2021, Community Music School received a generous grant from The Presser Foundation to help fund the construction of and technology for this state-of-the-art audio and video recording studio.  Read the full press release.
