Boston Academy of Music
The Boston Academy of Music is an institute of higher education in the field of music, located in Boston, Massachusetts. It was founded in 1833 by Lowell Mason and William Channing Woodbridge. It was the first music school of its kind in the country. In the 1830s-1840s it occupied the Odeon on Federal Street.
In 1982, the "Boston Academy of Music" was revived by the singer Richard Conrad, who led it for 23 years.
