The Musician Academy - Premier Music Services in the Heart of Lisburn

Established in 2020 by local musicians, Ryan Belshaw and Jordan Mackin, The Musician Academy is a music academy serving Lisburn and surrounding areas with a vast array of music-based services.

Our Founders

Ryan Belshaw and Jordan Mackin are a Lisburn-based couple with extensive musical experience between them. With guitar as his main instrument, Ryan is a well known face within the local rock scene, meanwhile Jordan trained as a singer and was an active member of the NI Musical Theatre community for a decade. Despite their seemingly different musical backgrounds, both share a passion for all things contemporary music. Whilst working separately as private music tutors, Ryan and Jordan decided to join forces to create The Musician Academy as a hub for everything the modern day musician could ever need!

Moreover, as a family-run business, community is also at the heart of everything we do at The Musician Academy, which is why we also offer an unparalleled range of group-based services in addition to our individualised, bespoke training.
