The Community Music School at Limestone University is committed to cultivating and promoting music appreciation in our community. Our mission is to enrich the lives of individuals by offering quality music instruction to people of all ages. Music education is the core of our program. Through private and group music lessons, opportunities for performance, and a college concert series, our goal is to contribute to the cultural life of the community that we serve. It is our mission to provide a positive and encouraging environment for all students and create learning experiences that foster and develop a lifelong love of music.  

Private lessons are available to students of all ages and abilities and will be offered in piano, voice, guitar, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings.
