The Community School of the Arts at APSU provides lessons and classes in music and the visual arts for the general community. From Kindermusik classes for infants and toddlers to adult classes in photography, ceramics, and piano, the Community School of the Arts strives to serve community members of all ages and ability levels with high quality instruction in the arts.

Founded in 1990, The Community School of the Arts at APSU serves approximately 300 students and employs 25 instructors. The CSA office and all music activities are housed in the Music/Mass Communication Building at APSU and art activities take place in the Trahern Building.

By offering a variety of courses, it is our goal to promote and increase awareness of the arts throughout the surrounding area. As a member of the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts, we join other schools in their mission of offering quality education in the arts to all who seek it.
