The WVU Community Music Program provides high-quality musical training to individuals of all ages and levels in Morgantown and the surrounding region. The program welcomes children, families, amateurs, professionals and those who wish to explore playing music. Programs range from private and group lessons to community bands and orchestras.
“We are excited to offer lessons, classes and ensembles again as we move into the summer months in Morgantown,” said Andrew Simonette, Interim Coordinator for the Community Music Program. “These classes and lessons are a fantastic way for individuals of any age and skill level to learn more on their current instrument, get back into one if they haven't played in a long time or even learn a new one.”
