W.O. Smith Nashville Community Music School

As we prep for Camp Backbeat next week, we have some memories from Resident Camp to share from earlier this month. Our kids had an absolute blast out at Cumberland University, making new friends, playing music, learning about new sets of musical cities, and forming lifelong memories. Resident Camp is always a highlight for all staff and students involved 🎶💛

For the fourth year in a row, W.O. Smith was named a 2026 Best Community for Music Education school! We are grateful for our connection with and the BCME community.
