The University of Delaware Community Music School (UDCMS) is the outreach program of the University of Delaware School of Music. For over 25 years the UDCMS has provided a wide variety of music instruction options for more than 500 students a year. Our current programs include private study instruction with a wide range of instructors from students in the School of Music to professional performers with extensive experience. In addition, we have a vibrant Suzuki program and three youth ensembles ranging from first grade through high school. Children under the age of 6 are happy participants and eager learners in our Music for Young Minds classes. We also offer many summer camps and specialized workshops.​
