Highland North Music got its start eight years ago and continues to thrive in it's North Battleground location right beside Greensboro Academy. Recently, the musician owners purchased the above house, which had been vacant for several years, to use as a studio. Renovation has been a major undertaking for the owners. The building went virtually unnoticed until they painted a guitar on the chimney. Their mission statement is "(t)o prepare students to make meaningful contributions in their world as Performers, Composers, Teachers and Worship Leaders."* Likely, Highland attracts students from Greensboro Academy; one has only to walk through the shrubbery to get from the academy to the studio.
We couldn't find the names of the owners or instructors, but they seem to be establishing a presence in the Greensboro community as a place to not only learn music but also to learn to incorporate music into worship services. We're wondering how they got their name Highland, as it makes us think of Scotland, a place much in the news lately. The photo below, a little free advertisement on Highland's property, reminds of the greenery in bonnie Scotland. And, the lettering provides a little, rural Americana twist.
*see their building campaign website.
The guitar really is a nice touch on the place!
