University of Missouri

Community Music @ Mizzou is the go-to place for community music activities at the University of Missouri. We offer programming tailored for people of all ages, including private lessons, group instruction, opportunities to perform in concert, and a variety of off-campus outreach performance and educational programs designed to enrich the cultural landscape of our region. Our consortium of programs reach well over 500 community members per year, are student-led and faculty-supported, and thus offer high-quality, low-cost opportunities to engage with and enjoy music-making. We are housed within the University of Missouri School of Music, and are a member of the National Guild for Community Arts Educators and the National Association of Schools of Music.

Our mission is to become a state leader in the practice, delivery, and development of community music education. We offer a number of opportunities to study music on-campus through private and group music lessons, and summer intensives for piano, band, choir, and string students. These are complemented by active outreach partnerships. Please click on the links below to read more about these programs.
