CFMTA offers opportunities for teachers and students alike.
Halloween Recital
In October 2016, CFMTA hosted our first annual Halloween recital at Carolina Bay at Autumn Hall. It was such a great success for teachers and students that we hosted Halloween recitals in 2017 and 2018. In 2019, the 4th annual recital was so well attended it was standing room only!

Play-a-ThonFor the past five years in December, CFMTA has held an annual Play-A-Thon to raise money for Hospice of Wilmington. The event is traditionally held at Carolina Bay at Autumn Hall, and teachers and students, as well as residents of Carolina Bay, enjoy the opportunity to get into the holiday spirit and raise money for a good cause! During Covid-19- the event has moved to Ogden Baptist Church in Wilmington.
