Renaissance Music Academy of Virginia

The Renaissance Music Academy of Virginia (RMA) is the oldest and largest non-profit community music school in southwest Virginia. Founded in 1993, the RMA serves as a center in the region where students of all ages and levels of ability can explore the world of music and reach their highest potential in learning to play an instrument. Lessons are offered in piano, violin, viola, cello, and guitar. 

The RMA is open to everyone! Scholarships are offered to families who cannot afford music lessons.  Outreach events are offered throughout the community year-round in retirement centers, childcare centers, public and private schools, hospitals, libraries, adult day centers and for civic organizations. Activities include free concerts by faculty and students, lecture/demonstrations, and petting zoos for children to try out string instruments.  Please support this amazing music school where we believe Music Changes Everything!

You may designate your gift to our General Fund, our General Scholarship Fund, or the Joe W. Meredith Scholarship Fund, honoring our RMA board member and former President of the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center.
