About The Academy
Established in 2010, the Franklin Music Academy generated a new innovative approach to music instruction. The combination of ensemble playing and private instruction, all customized and tailored to individual needs, provides the well rounded musical experience essential to creating both competent and expressive musicians.
Students are instructed in musical literacy, theory, technical fluency, and history. This is all done in a fun, relaxed, interactive classroom setting where they are as much able to learn from each other as from the teacher. Students learn in pairs, sometimes instructed together and sometimes apart. All Lessons include supervised practice time.
The Academy also functions as a forum through which kids can try new things. Many of our students play a secondary instrument. After basic musical competency is demonstrated on a primary instrument, students are encouraged to select something else to try out. This works as an incentive for commitment to an initial instrument as well as a means of finding each individual's proper fit and place in an ensemble.
