The University of Delaware’s Community Music School (UDCMS), the outreach program of the Department of Music that has offered a wide variety of music instruction options to people of all ages for more than 25 years, has a number of programs scheduled for spring.

The school will offer private study instruction for children, teens and adults on more than 20 instruments.

Music For Young Minds, an early childhood music program that is filling up fast for this semester, provides music instruction for children from birth through age 6.

Group classes offered include Suzuki guitar, violin and piano for students ages 4-12 (includes private and group lessons/waitlist may apply: inquire for details); percussion ensemble for students grades 6-9; Beginning Group Piano for Kids; and an Adult and Teen Beginning Group Piano class.

All registered UDCMS students are eligible to join the free Saturday music theory classes and all members of the community are invited to attend Saturday workshops, which will cover a variety of topics this spring.

UDCMS has evolved over the years to include classes and opportunities based on requests by the community. Instruction at UDCMS is affordable, and the school offers several different kinds of discounts. There are opportunities for several recitals during the year as well as performance opportunities with collegiate musical groups and at various off-campus venues.

The UDCMS is accepting registration for the spring semester. For information, see the UDCMS website or call 302-831-1548.
