Mission Statement

The University of Rhode Island Music Department, through its Preparatory Program, seeks to provide high-quality, reasonably priced music programs to adults and children from the surrounding community.

This program also serves as a laboratory type setting in which to provide URI music majors with the skills and training necessary to become qualified studio teachers.

Instruction is provided (depending on teacher availability) in orchestral and band instruments, voice, piano and guitar. Other instruments may be available if requested.
