We would like to thank

Humanities Tennessee & Dr. Brenden Martin from Middle Tennessee State University

for their ongoing support of our work in the museum.

The purpose of the Do Re Mi Gospel Music Academy is to educate, promote and preserve the rich heritage of shape note gospel music.  In 2018 the Board of Directors create the Do Re Mi Shape Note Museum.  It includes artifacts dating back to the 1800's and a library of songbooks. Additionally, we are currently working on a documentary of the history of shape note music in Middle Tennessee.  The museum is free and open to the public daily June 4-17, 2023 or by appointment.  We are currently accepting donations and loans.  Contact us at doremigma@yahoo.com if you have anything you would like to donate or if you would like to help catalogue the books we currently have. Below are pictures of the development of the museum, click the picture for a larger view.  Send us your feedback.
