As Brook Hill’s Orchestra Director, I wanted to offer a great music course that would provide a variety of musical educational experiences and open up awareness to a bigger, broader musical world.

Without having to incur the expense of travel abroad, an excellent US music spot was none other than “Music City”,  Nashville!  A main feature of the course was a four hour master class/clinic with The Annie Moses Band, a Christian family classical-crossover band of “talented songwriters, singers, and musicians, combining technical skill with exhilarating showmanship.”

We also took in sound engineering at the famed RCA Studio B, Grand Ole Opry tour and evening show, Vanderbilt University Blair School of Music tour and orchestra/choir rehearsal observations, The Parthenon (replica),  recording a CD at The Ryman Auditorium and a Nashville Symphony concert.
