Community Music Division

Community Music Division Our instructors hold degrees in music and specialize in the instruments they teach. A trascript may be requested for all non-credit courses.

The Old Dominion University Community Music Division, established in 1984 as the Community Music Academy, offers the finest level of private music instruction, classes, and ensembles for people of all ages and abilities. Students may participate in Community Music Division recitals held in the Chandler Recital Hall at the end of each semester. Lessons are taught on campus in the Diehn Fine and Performing Arts Center, 49th Street and Elkhorn Avenue. All classes and private lessons are listed with the University through Continuing Education. Continuing Education units (CEUs) are also available to teachers- ask our director for more details.

🇱🇷Happy 4th of July - celebrating the 250th Birthday of our country! 🎶

Excited for new paint and carpet to portions of our second floor and a fresh look to our piano lab and atrium of our main music building. Lessons will need to be rescheduled for our pupils for the next two weeks ( and of course ODU is closed for the celebration and observance of the birth of our nation this weekend.). Your instructor may schedule to use Diehn's newer addition to teach you during this time- please check with them prior to lessons so you will know where to meet during construction.
