'Stephen Luchs' dream for students and parents to be involved in music and learning played a key role in the upcoming music center at CPJMA,' Superintendent Lamont Jackson said.
SAN DIEGO - Pacific Beach's Crown Point Junior Music Academy Friday broke ground on its classroom and music center while honoring the legacy of the school's violin academy founder.
"Stephen Luchs' dream for students and parents to be involved in music and learning played a key role in the upcoming music center at CPJMA," Jackson said."We are so grateful that the renovations to our aging buildings will be influenced by a beloved teacher who cared so much about music and our school community."
In addition to its Suzuki Violin program, the school also offers a free after-school music club and music enrichment instruction in homeroom classes. Open to 4th and 5th-grade students, the music club offers instruction from professional musicians and focuses on instrument-playing skills, playing and writing songs, and making audio and video recordings.
The new kindergarten building will replace an aging portable classroom along Fortuna Avenue and will include classrooms with modern technology, furniture and collaborative workspaces.
