ABOUT US!
Our Founders
It seems unlikely that a molecular biologist with a PhD and professional music geek would join together, but it happened! And so did CincyCAMS. Mary and Rachel made music together in MUSE, Cincinnati’s Women’s Choir until Rachel retired in 2013 (she’s not really old enough to retire!). Mary decided to retire from her career (she isn’t old either!). They got to talking and CincyCAMS is the result.
Mary and Rachel share a passion for music and each bring their professional and personal perspective to the table. It is their goal that all adults – young and old—have the opportunity to make music in their own unique way.
OUR FACILITATORS
Classes are taught by “Cincy’s best”! Facilitators, as we like to call them, are interested in helping all students. They are people interested in music just like you – they are passionate about their subject and they can’t wait to meet you.
We think this quote sums it up best:
"The facilitator's job is to support everyone to do their best thinking and practice. To do this, the facilitator encourages full participation, promotes mutual understanding and cultivates shared responsibility. By supporting everyone to do their best thinking, a facilitator enables group members to search for inclusive solutions and build sustainable agreements" - Kaner[3]

OUR CONSULTING ENSEMBLE
“Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without” - Confucius
That’s what Confucius says and we listen to him – but not like we listen to our Consulting Ensemble. We decided many heads are better than just ours. Imagine having a virtual focus group all of the time! This ensemble makes beautiful musical opinions together and we can’t thank them enough.
If you see them – thank them, too! They are great – just read their bios – you’ll see! They support us and tell us what they think and we don’t take it personally – we take it seriously.
