Mission
CDMN is a network for professional, recreational, and student musicians, music-related organizations, music lovers, and music service providers. A monthly newsletter, posted on the CDMN website, is the primary vehicle for the network. CDMN’s purpose is to provide a referral network to access traditional musical resources. Access to the network and the newsletter is free of charge. The monthly newsletter includes listings of: (1) musicians seeking performance/playing opportunities, (2) individuals, organizations and institutions looking for musicians, (3) instruments to buy, sell, or donate, (4) music instruction, (5) support services for professional, recreational, and student musicians, (6) performance schedules, and (7) venues. Listings are updated prior to the release of the newsletter, which is posted the fifth of each month. To submit a listing, or to be added to our mailing list, please email cdmnmusic@gmail.com The deadline for submissions is the last week of the month prior to publication.
