The Music Academy at College of DuPage offers private music instruction for community members at two levels of study. Our instructors have experience, knowledge and passion to take your skills to the next level.
Learn the proper technique on the instrument of your choice and study music appropriate to your level of proficiency. Whatever your preference—Bach, Beethoven, the blues or simply the basics—the Music Academy has it all.
Music Academy lessons are non-credit. If you would like to earn a degree or certificate, visit the Music program of study page.
