We are beyond excited to share a momentous milestone in ROOTS Academy’s journey. For the first time in our 11+ year history, we have been awarded first place in the Best Youth Arts/Music Program category in the prestigious 2024 Franklin Sizzle Awards.

This accolade is not just a trophy on our shelf; it’s a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion that fuel our mission to nurture the next generation of artists.

What are the Franklin Sizzle Awards?

The Franklin Sizzle Awards, hosted by FranklinIs, are a hallmark of excellence within our community. They recognize local businesses, organizations, and individuals who demonstrate outstanding service, quality, and commitment to their patrons and the community at large.

Winning this award signifies that ROOTS Academy has been distinguished as a leader among our peers, setting the standard for excellence in arts education.

A Testament to Community and Growth

This award comes at a time of exhilarating growth for our academy.

In just two years, we’ve seen our enrollment surge from 1,000 to nearly 1,400 students, a clear indication that our community believes in us and the vision we have for our young musicians and dancers.

Our commitment to providing top-notch music lessons and dance classes for children aged 18 months to 18 years has never been stronger.

As we celebrate this achievement, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to you—our students, parents, and the broader local community. Your unwavering trust and support have been the cornerstone of our success. We are here because of you, and we promise to continue nurturing the talents of young artists in an environment that is both challenging and supportive.

Introducing ROOTS at Home

With our eyes set on the future, we are thrilled to announce the launch of “ROOTS at Home,” an innovative program designed to bring our award-winning music lessons directly to your living room.

Initially serving Franklin and Brentwood, Tennessee, our vision is to expand this offering to all of Middle Tennessee by 2026.

This initiative is a direct response to our community’s needs, ensuring that access to quality arts education is as convenient and impactful as ever.

A Future Bright with Possibilities

As we look forward, we are filled with gratitude and excitement for what the future holds. The FranklinIs Sizzle Award is a beacon of what we can achieve together. We remain committed to our mission, inspired by our students, and grateful for the love and support of our community.

Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to many more achievements, growth, and music and dance-filled days ahead!
