THE MUSIC IN YOUR
COMMUNITY
The Music Institute – or TMI as it's familiarly called – is the noncredit
community music school administered by HCC's academic music
department. Now in its 10th year, TMI has been meeting the musical
needs and interests of the Baltimore-Washington area.
Whether you're a young child experiencing formal music training for
the first time, a high school student preparing for conservatory studies,
an adult wishing to return to the instrument set aside decades ago, a
musician wanting to advance skills or make music with others – you
can get there from here.
TMI offers a full menu of voice and instrument private lessons,
classes, coaching, ensemble performance options, and music therapy,
with quality instructors at affordable rates. The highly-trained and
award-winning musician-educators of HCC's music department make
up the core of The Music Institute faculty.
Check the TMI website for updates on their distinctive offerings
in summer 2012, including enrichment programs for youth, and
vocal arts workshops from the Little Patuxent Opera Institute.

THE ART OF SEDUCTION
What is seductive? HCC's recent exhibit in
The Rouse Company Foundation Gallery,
The Art of Seduction: Exquisitely Crafted
Temptations, explored this subject with 39
artists from across the country featuring
work in ceramics, fibers, glass, jewelry,
metals, wood, and mixed media. As curator
Gail M. Brown described, these unique,
contemporary, handmade objects "…offer
enticements – tactilely in seductive material
palettes and processes; emotionally by
the attraction of their forms and frames of
reference; and intellectually by the power and
context of their potent ideas."
