​

The Jackson Symphony Music Academy established Regional Music Centers to increase access to high-quality music education and performance opportunities for students in grades 1–12 across West Tennessee.

​

With a team of professional instructors, Regional Music Centers offer free group strings and choral instruction in students’ own communities. In addition to weekly training, students come together to perform as part of a large Music Academy orchestra and choir multiple times each season.

​

Regional music centers are located in Dyer, Gibson, Haywood, Hardin, Henry, Madison, McNairy, Obion, and Weakley counties, with more opening in Fall 2026. As the program continues to grow, it will ultimately span all counties in West Tennessee, stretching from river to river, except Shelby County.

​

The Jackson Symphony believes high-quality music education builds confidence, strengthens leadership and teamwork skills, and fosters creative expression. We are deeply grateful to the generous sponsors who have supported our programs, helped make this expansion possible, and funded annual scholarships for deserving students.
