Summer Programs

Each summer, in addition to continued private music study, hundreds of Community School of the Arts students participate in CSA-sponsored Summer School of the Arts workshops, Group Classes, and Summer Events.
These provide a concentrated experience where students learn, bond, and form new ideas and interests. Don’t miss out on CSA’s lively summer programming schedule.

Private Music Lessons Private lessons are offered on all instruments and voice. We welcome beginners, intermediate, and advanced students of all ages.
