Lawrence Academy of Music is a division of the Lawrence University Conservatory of Music in Appleton, Wisconsin.The Academy seeks both to prepare precollege students for possible careers in music and to guide students of all ages studying music as part of a lifetime of musical enjoyment and enrichment. Students benefit from the knowledge and expertise of faculty who are chosen for their commitment to excellence in music instruction.
In addition to a broad range of individual instrumental and vocal instruction, the Academy houses eight large auditioned ensembles, chamber music ensembles, classes in music theory and musicianship, early childhood music classes, and summer camps. The New Horizons program for adults includes a band and an orchestra. Financial aid awards ensure that Academy programs are accessible to all qualified students.
Founded in 1874 to provide music instruction to residents of the community, the Preparatory Program became the Arts Academy in 1990. In 2002 the name was changed to Lawrence Academy of Music to better define its role as a music education provider.
