Goducate has rented premises for a music studio in Laguna. Members of the Goducate Orchestra, especially those in college, have been helping to get the place ready for use by the end of this month.
This studio is where the Goducate Orchestra will hold its rehearsals. It is also where auditions will held every three months to see whether any of the newer musicians are ready to join the junior orchestra. On top of that, members of the orchestra can use this place to teach private students. The income they receive will help fund their own studies, and perhaps even help meet their families’ daily needs.
