Community and Summer Programs
Programs for children, high school students, adults and working professionals
At the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, community programs put the
emphasis on you. We offer community programs for children, high school students, adults and working
professionals. In many cases, no previous experience is required – just a love for
or interest in the arts.
If you are looking for private or group music lessons with one of our highly accomplished
instructors, take a look at the Community Music School. Maybe you are a budding actor itching for some stage time – check out our award-winning
community acting classes known as Acting Out! And our nationally acclaimed Preparatory Dance program offers aspiring young dancers the chance to develop a number of dance styles
and techniques.

Community Program Offerings
The Community Music School offers a high quality music education to students of all ages and levels of experience. Group courses and private lessons are offered in a wide range of instruments and styles and are taught by some of the area’s top working musicians.
UNCSA’s Preparatory Dance Program presents a unique opportunity for young dancers to experience the joy of developing their artistry in a nurturing atmosphere. Focusing on the etiquette and discipline necessary for building a solid foundation in ballet technique, this after-school, pre-professional training program has received national recognition for its excellence.
Acting Out is the community outreach program of the award-winning UNCSA School of Drama, offering classes in Acting, Musical Theatre, Tap, Hip Hop and Musical Theatre/Jazz Dance, as well as private voice and tap instruction. Instructors include UNCSA faculty members and alumni, offering the same caliber of instruction as our high school and undergraduate programs.
Adult Education classes do not require any specialized background or knowledge in a given art form, so all ages and educational levels are welcome to attend. Classes may be lecture-based, or may get you up and moving. Regardless of format, you will deepen your understanding and enjoyment of various art forms, meet friends and have fun. You may even step out of your comfort zone!
It's a wonderful music school. My son's piano professor is very experienced both in teaching and performance. My son made great improvement in every lesson!
