unique opportunity for them to express themselves in an original song, with
support from MTSU’s internationally known Department of Recording Industry.
Student veterans will
share their stories by writing songs with MTSU songwriters and Nashville Hall
of Fame songwriters. The campus community is invited to hear the results at the
end of the all-day songwriting workshop and hit songs from the Hall of Fame
writers. Graduate students in audio will record the showcase so the veterans
can take the experience home with them.
