Pick up a new instrument or build performance skills

Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced musician, you’ll find opportunities to explore music of all kinds at Community Music Center. Start with private lessons, or try out classes in composition, music theory, or ensemble playing.

Online Learning

Even as we are open for in-person learning, we continue to offer online lessons and classes. Online group classes can be found in the youth and adult sections of the group classes & ensembles pages. Chat with a registrar to inquire about taking private online music lessons.
