BMU is fortunate to have a robust music program. The music program is open to all grades and is integrated into the curriculum through your younger years; when students get to highschool, they choose if students would like to continue into band or chorus. BMU is a small school but music is always something that brings people together. The annual winter concert is a perfect example of music bringing people from the community together.

Matthew Webster is a senior in high school; this is his second year working with BNN. He loves to play guitar and spends a lot of his free time jamming; the fiddlin’ never stops. He also loves rock music and spends a lot of his time listening to that particular genre, especially while driving his car. If you couldn’t already tell, Matt would love to pursue music after high school and make a career out of it.
