What is Belmont Academy?
Belmont Academy began in 1981 as the Piano Preparatory Department of the Belmont University School of Music and was founded by Linda Ford and Dr. Jerry Warren. In May of 1996, the University established Belmont Academy to offer lessons in all disciplines. The Academy currently offers private instruction for all ages in piano, traditional strings, guitar, banjo, mandolin, brass/winds, harp, percussion, voice and theory. The Nashville Children’s Choir is also a part of the Academy with four choirs ranging generally in ages from 8 through high school. Additional camps, master classes, and ensemble and chamber music opportunities are also typically offered. The Academy’s faculty members are dedicated professional teachers and university students wishing to pursue a teaching career. Belmont Academy offers two 15-week semesters beginning in late August and ending in May. The summer is an 8-week session and begins in June. Students participate in performances offered throughout the school year, including recitals in December and May. The administration attempts to place students with a teacher whose personality and abilities meet the needs of the student.
