Our goal for this event is to provide assistance and information to high school students as they consider their choices. Often the musically-talented student is drawn to music as a major field in college, but is unsure of either the strength of his/her talent or of the career opportunities possible with a music degree. We hope to provide some answers to both questions during this program. See below for a full schedule of activities.
