The Dow Street Community Music School at 1272 Dow Street has seven teaching rooms for individual lessons, one teaching room for group lessons, and a performance hall that seats about 90 people. The Dow Street Community Music School is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. For the last year, the building was under renovation, but now renovations are complete! Providing music instruction to children and adults in a community music school setting has been a dream of Dr. Andrea Dawson (founder & violin/viola professor at MTSU) for many years. Dr. Jill Austin (MTSU management professor) is helping with development of policies and operations activities for the school.
