Notes

2021-03-09 - While established in 1964, Blair did not initially offer undergraduate-level courses, instead focusing on pre-college music education as part of the then-independent Peabody College (Peabody is itself now part of Vanderbilt). The school was initially housed in the mansion at 1208 18th Avenue South in Nashville, which now serves as Vanderbilt's English Language Center. Ground was broken for the Blakemore Avenue building in 1979, and its doors were officially opened in 1980. As a feature of its location in Nashville, Blair became the first National Association of Schools of Music accredited institution to offer academic credit for the study of banjo and fiddle. In 2002, the Martha Rivers Ingram Center for the Performing Arts was opened as part of a building expansion of the Blakemore Avenue facilities. -Jeff Scofield
