Athens Community Music School

Founded in 1979, the Athens Community Music School (ACMS) is truly community-wide in mission and in scope as it is the principal source of organized and qualified music instruction in southeast Ohio and portions of West Virginia. We offer individual private lessons in piano, woodwind, brass, percussion, and stringed instruments as well as voice to students of all ages. We also offer group instruction in a variety of areas based on factors including availability of qualified instructors, sequence of instruction, and interest of participants.
