Music Opportunities Weekend

WHO High school juniors and seniors
WHAT

Information: Career, major and general information regarding music; panels, information sessions and demonstrations

Opportunity: observe music faculty members in lesson, rehearsal and classroom situations; attend an ensemble concert

Audition: seniors may audition for entrance to the Greatbatch School of Music, Houghton College, & for scholarships
 

WHEN November 7-8, 2008
WHERE   Houghton College, Houghton, NY

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.
