- Covenant Fine Arts Music Lab 224
A workshop for high school students curious about pursuing music composition as a serious hobby or vocation.
A lot of people say that they have music running around inside their heads, even when their iPods are on the blink and they aren’t within earshot of a stereo system. Does this sort of thing ever happen to you? Now here’s the really big question: Are any of those tunes ones that you make up? If so, might you be a composer? This workshop is just the event for you.
