The Ole Bull Academy is a Norwegian music college that offers college-level courses on Norwegian folk music and folk dance. Today, the Academy educates about 700 students annually, and over 9000 students had taken a course at the Academy in 2003. Near the end of 2009 the figure was 12,000.
The idea of an academy came from Ole Bull in 1863. He wished an academy that was based on Norwegian folk music, and a ballet inspired by Norwegian village dances. The idea was turned into reality by Sigbjørn Bernhoft Osa in 1977, First by course in the "slåttespill" for students at the Norges Musikkhøgskole and Bergen Musikkonservatorium. According to the website of the Academy, teaching follows the old principle from folk music: "From ear to ear, string to string, and throat to throat".
