MUSIC FACULTY IN CONCERT

Welcome.

Dear Students and Parents.

I am very pleased to announce that the 2020 Governor’s School for the Arts will be in session this summer, June 6-27. Classroom instruction, Masterclasses and special projects will all be delivered REMOTELY since, as you know, most college campuses are closed at least through July, including our host campus, Middle Tennessee State University.

All areas of the Governor’s will proceed with the online instruction including:
Art
Dance
Film
Music
Theater

Each Area Chairperson and division Coordinators will be in direct contact with you regarding your daily schedule; you should expect to receive this by May 1 and we ask for your patience as planning takes place.

I am also very happy to let you know that you will still receive college credit for completing Governor’s School.

Please call 615-898-2849 or 615-898-2223 for further information. Expect more detailed information from Glenna Robinson in the Governor’s School Office and please be patient as she processes this communication to you.
