A Tradition of Arts Education for the Greater Decatur Community
For over 100 years, Millikin University’s School of Music has provided quality music lessons for students of all ages from Decatur and surrounding communities. Today, that tradition continues as highly trained faculty and upper-level Millikin students teach in their areas of expertise. Our programs have expanded to include not only Private Lessons but such programs as the Decatur Youth Symphony Orchestra, Decatur Youth Chorale, Rap-U, First Gig, Rock University: Millikin, Millikin University Community Cello Choir, Millikin Community Jazz Ensemble, Millikin Community Percussion Ensemble, Millikin Group Piano Class, Music & Movement, Group Guitar and Ukulele Classes, and Summer Camps in the arts. We continue to add programs that represent the vast offerings of our College of Fine Arts.
The goal of the Millikin Community Arts Academy is to provide art programming to our community that fosters an appreciation of and participation in the Arts while instilling a lifelong love and enjoyment of the Arts.
