High school students are invited to embark on their college exploration journey at our College Advisory event, led by HBMS Dean Christopher Kenniff. Gain valuable insights from guest speaker Barbra Weidlein, co-founder and director of MajoringInMusic.com, the website providing tools and guidance to help pre-college students learn about options for continuing with music after high school. The event also includes panels featuring college admissions officers (TBA) and HB alumni who will discuss their experiences preparing for college, the application and audition process, and studying music at the university level. We encourage active participation and interaction between parents and students throughout the event to maximize the learning experience.
