Now I am: Soul, Blues, R&B Singer Working for: 1st Album - "Country Versial" Testimonial: "I walked into CCM having already experienced the music industry through making six albums previously; I found that this contemporary music school was exactly what I needed. I was exposed to different styles of music that turned a country singer into a rock singer. I am thankful to my professors, especially Kevin Dorsey (who performed with Michael Jackson for 25 years) because he helped polish my vocal performing skills immensely. I also got in touch with people all over the world. We were able to feed off of each other and learn more about ourselves as artists. If you are a person who doesn't know who you are, what you are, or you are the least bit lost, CCM gives you great direction and leads you a step closer to your future." 
Yutaka Sao Year: 2009 Program: Certificate Department: Bass
Now I am: Bass Player for the Band Working for: "THE DEADLIES" @ SXSW (Billboard Showcase), NBC (TV), Roxy Theater, Viper Room Testimonial: "The reason why I enrolled in the music program at CCM was to take my rock skills to the next level. Instructors pointed out my weaknesses and strengths, showed me exactly how I can improve, and shared their unique personal techniques and professional experience. I consider myself very lucky since I got to attend and learn so much about other genres from the lab classes: Blues, Jazz, Classic Rock, Shred, Modal, Progressive Rock, Latin, music technology lab, etc. " 
Julieanna Aliwarga Year: 2009 Program: Certificate Department: Vocal Now I am: Soft Rock Recording Artist/Songwriter Testimonial: "Not only has CCM empowered me as a vocalist, but it also led me to an amazing discovery that I can actually write original songs and bring inspiration others' way. This has brought out a degree of independence in my musical endeavour and allowed me to expand my creativity and to nurture my vision of who I am as an artist. With the personalized help of extraordinary and gifted coaches like Phillip Ingram and Yoel DeJesus -who I'm still working with until now - and my fellow talented musicians that I've been privileged to know and form productive relationships with, I am now at home with my musical style and couldn't wait to get my tunes out there to share in the bigger music scene. Once again, I appreciate CCM for taking me under its wing in the first place. I look forward to seeing more new artists getting the best out of their programs here." 
Sylvia Bosco Year: 2007 Program: Certificate Department: Vocal Now I am: Acoustic Pop-Rocker Testimonial: "When I came to CCM I was looking for a stepping stone to a professional career as a vocalist. I had studied vocals for over 12 years, but didn't really know whether I could make it professionally. After I took private vocal lessons here, my vocal range improved tremendously. I also got all the breathing skills and controlling techniques I need, and am able to produce the specific vocal timbre I want! Now I feel self-confident with my vocals and take on any new project without hesitation. CCM gave me the opportunity to grow and develop as an artist. It was all worth it!" 
Sherif Zaehloul Year: 2010 Program: Certificate Department: Vocal Now I am: Producer / Singer Songwriter in Egypt Working for:
Albums
- "Ezay Habetni" Testimonial: "I consider myself lucky for finding the best school suited for me. Every step was very smooth and convenient, and the staff was very helpful. Compared to other colleges, CCM is more affordable. Teachers are great musicians and they know exactly how to teach you all the knowledge they have and more. In just one quarter I became pretty fast using Logic, Pro Tools, playing piano, reading music, and harmony and theory. I also benefited from attending the songwriting class here. Now I can write and produce my own songs in a professional and capable manner. Thanks CCM; I really appreciate it."
