COMMUNITY ORCHESTRA ACADEMY
Providing high-quality performances and comprehensive music education to support aspiring performers and area music programs.

The Community Orchestra Academy (COA) is a unique program
in the Moorhead/Fargo/West Fargo area. We believe in the
importance of starting students on string instruments
at a young age.
Our professional music teachers offer violin, viola, cello, and bass classes to students, offering a strong ensemble-focus. We invite students who are 5 years and older to enroll in one of our classes. Click here to review our brochure.

June 5, 12, 26; July 10, 17, 24, 31; August 7, 14, 21
