About the Music School

The Music School of Delaware is open to all and has something for everyone. The school offers on-site and virtual programming encompassing: private lessons in approximately 30 instruments and voice; early childhood classes; Suzuki Academy; orchestral, choral, and small ensembles for children and adults; group instruction; music history and musicianship classes; music therapy; an “el sistema” ensemble program for underserved populations; and programs especially for adults. Instruction is offered in classical, rock, jazz, and folk genres. The school presents over 120 public performances annually. The Music School has continuously operated since its founding nearly a century ago, in 1924. The only statewide community music school in the nation, The Music School of Delaware is nationally accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Community and Pre-Collegiate Arts Schools, and by the National Association of Schools of Music, and is a charter member of the National Guild for Community Arts Education. The Music School received Delaware’s Governor’s Award for the Arts in 2010.
