BJA’s music program provides students the opportunity to develop their musical talents for the glory of God. Throughout the year, students involved in our vocal and instrumental ensembles perform concerts of classical, semi-classical and sacred music.

Academy music groups regularly perform at a variety of locations such as at the Biltmore House, in Greenville area Christmas events, in area churches, and in other community venues.

Check our Facebook page for other recent opportunities and events that our students have participated in.

Music Lessons

In partnership with the Division of Music at Bob Jones University, music lessons are available to students during the school day or after school. Lessons are taught by university faculty members.

Elementary lessons are held at school. Middle and high school lessons are held at BJA or in BJU’s Fine Arts center, as preferred by the parent. (Some teachers or instruments are available only at BJU’s Fine Arts center.)
