COMBO is an organization that helps you to put into practice all those things you learned in college or from the college of hard knocks to help you further your musical career. Remember your thoughts on Algebra? Well, the same with “Music Education” – there will be times when you’ll think, “Oh, Shoot! I wish I’d paid more attention to what the teacher was saying.”
