Community Music School

​The University of Delaware Community Music School (UDCMS) is the outreach program of the University of Delaware Department of Music. For nearly 20 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 Department of Music to professional performers with extensive experience.  In addition, we have a vibrant Suzuki program and three youth choirs ranging from first grade through high school.  Children under 6 are happy participants and eager learners in our Music for Young Minds classes.  We also offer many summer camps and specialized workshops.
