COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

The School of Music facilitates robust relationships between our students and the greater community to create global, service minded artist-citizens. By sharing their music education, our students provide underserved and under-resourced communities with meaningful access to and inclusion in the arts.

As part of our commitment to community engagement, the School of Music offers a range of opportunities for students to share their love of music beyond campus. We also offer classes, summer camps and programs for both youth and adults in the community.

Terrapin Community Music School

The Terrapin Community Music School (TCMS) welcomes families from across the DMV to the University of Maryland School of Music to create, engage with, and make music together.

TCMS offers one-on-one lessons, small group and ensemble instruction for infants, children and high school-aged musicians throughout the year.

Our engagement programs cultivate community-minded leaders by placing students at local schools, senior living facilities, museums, cultural events and more for performance and instructional opportunities. Through these initiatives, our students bring their world-class training from the classroom to the community.
