                       Tuesday, December 6, 2022

  Mr. CROW. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor and congratulate the 
Colorado Music Institute (CMI) in Centennial, Colorado for being 
recognized as the 2022 National Music School of the Year by the Music 
Academy Success System.
  Founded in 1996, CMI has been at the forefront of the music community 
in the state of Colorado. CMI has been steadfast in its commitment to 
teaching students of all ages--believing people are never too old to 
pick up an instrument and try a new skill. Their reach extends far 
beyond Colorado--as students from all over the world seek out lessons 
there.
  This year, music schools around the nation worked to regain their 
rhythm with a return to predominantly in-person learning. Bringing 
music and joy to the community, CMI has a diverse staff from all over 
the world cultivating and developing students' musical talent and 
establishing the foundation for a lifelong love of music. CMI believes 
that music should be all about joy, therefore aiming to be Colorado's 
most fun, welcoming, and professional music school.
  The National Music School of the Year award is presented annually to 
a school that has made significant contributions to the music industry. 
Hundreds of schools around the country compete for this highly 
prestigious award.
  Teachers have a tremendous impact on the lives of their students no 
matter the age. I commend CMI for their tireless dedication to their 
students, and congratulate them for receiving this recognition. It is 
an honor to recognize CMI and their achievements.
