Louisville Academy of Music

The Louisville Academy of Music (lam) provides long-term mentorship, transferable life skills, and a welcoming community through Music lessons. We are the oldest and largest non-profit school of classical musical instruction in our region. Our degreed faculty taught over 500 students from more than 50 zip codes, aged 3-83, in instruments, voice, and composition this past year.

Beyond lessons, lam cultivates a vibrant musical community through performances, educational enrichment, community partnerships, and special programs. For example our public school programs reached thousands of people, our annual summer symposium offers specialized tracks in chamber Music and composition, and our composer of the year program highlights underrepresented classical composers. Lam offers a uniquely welcoming and supportive community with programming that blends tradition and innovation, inspiring the next generation of musicians and citizens to harness Music and artistic expression for personal and community growth.

The purpose of the lam scholarship program is to break down barriers, build pathways, and create access to learning and excelling at a musical instrument. Music opens doors to success in any field and our mission is to provide education, support, and mentorship for any student who is willing and devoted no matter their socio-economic status. We believe Music is for everyone. Our program provides crucial one on one support to those students who are passionate about learning an instrument but unable to afford private instruction. We value the unique opportunities that individual attention and long term study provide a student.
