why are we one school of music?
because we are one school of music, we do not find ourselves in silos. we are intentional about bringing down walls and barriers and our best work in collaboration with each other. our students share the classroom and the stage with classical pianists, worship leaders, and songwriters. producers and music educators bring their skills to our ensembles and practice rooms. our musicianship core focuses on learning the ins and outs of commercial music while embracing the knowledge that is to be gained from the classical tradition.
nashville is our playground.
join students coming from around the world to find their place in music city. you will experience the rich culture that is nashville: concerts at the ryman auditorium and the schemerhorn symphony center, big names headlining at bridgestone arena and nashville’s top songwriters at the bluebird cafe, world-class opera and a stellar broadway series.
the school of music is the artistic hub of all things music at 世界杯2022预选赛录像回放 . a cornerstone of the college of entertainment & the arts, the school represents the intersection of robust musical tradition and current innovation.

the primary hub for the school of music is the mcmeen music center adjacent to our largest performance space, collins alumni auditorium. this two-level theatre features the iconic maybelle carter memorial stage (inaugurated in 2010 by johnny and june cash’s son, john carter). additional performance spaces include ward hall, shamblin theatre, flatt amphitheatre and the commercial music house. we use our spacious buddy and bernie arnold rehearsal hall for rehearsal, performance and classes. mcmeen music center includes faculty and administrative offices, classrooms, a piano and digital production lab, a music library, and practice rooms, including two wenger practice rooms featuring virtual acoustic simulation technology.

in keeping with our nashville-centric approach, we’ve brought a bit of historic music row to lipscomb. just across campus is a two-story house, the commercial house that students call the coho. there you’ll find a classic music row-style production/music publishing house complete with a recording studio, pro tools lab, offices, lounge and the requisite platinum records and grammy awards. the only difference between music row and our space is that we have a classroom. all week long students are visiting the coho to learn and create.
