Support from the Georgia Council for the Arts

Southern Highland Music Foundation has recently been awarded a grant from the Georgia Council for the Arts for the 2023/2024 school year.

The grant will be used to provide in-class supplemental music instruction at the Rabun County (GA) High School and Middle School.

Included in the program will be hands-on training on string and keyboard instruments, vocal instruction, music theory, harmony and performance techniques.

Tom Nixon, CEO of Southern Highland Music Foundation, said, “This is the third grant we have received from the Georgia Council of the Arts in the past five years. Thanks to GCA we have initiated a very successful peer-to-peer learning program for Middle School and High School students that supplements the school’s basic music education program. A unique feature of our support is the opportunity for students to create, record and produce their own collaborative CD at the end of the year that features their own vocal and instrumental performances.”
