Thames Valley Music School

Located on the campus of Connecticut College, Thames Valley Music School is recognized as one of the finest private music schools in New England and has been providing the highest quality musical instruction to the residents of Southeastern Connecticut since 1979. We offer individual instruction in piano, stringed and wind instruments, percussion, voice and music theory, as well as ensembles for all ages and abilities, including our new Orchestra for advanced students.TVMS students receive access to Greer Music Library's 16,000 Scores, 20,000 recordings, 11,000 books, 85 periodicals, 400 DVD's and 12 Listening stations.

A non-profit organization, Thames Valley Music School strives to make music lessons affordable to all students. To accomplish this goal, TVMS is asking for your support. The school receives some grant funding, but its recipients are restricted and not all students are eligible. Unfortunately, as public schools re-examine their budgets, arts programs are generally the first to be eliminated.

At Thames Valley Music School, our programs are created to provide you with the environment and instruction necessary for artistic growth. We offer private lessons in piano, string and wind instruments, percussion and voice, as well as ensembles for all ages and abilities. Have you thought about picking up an instrument for the first time?

The mission of the Thames Valley Youth Symphony is to encourage and develop artistic excellence among young musicians in southeastern Connecticut by providing diverse and quality orchestral experiences, and to enhance the cultural environment of the families and communities it serves.
