UDCMS also offers an adult group beginning piano class offered at convenient times on Wednesday evenings and Thursday mornings.

Adults can also join Schola Cantorum, a large symphonic chorus composed of community members, students and faculty.

In keeping with the Department of Music’s commitment to community education and outreach, the UDCMS will be offering a free vocal technique workshop this semester for adult choral singers -- on Saturday, March 2, for adult church, community and civic choir members and their directors.
