NFA Scholar Completes Independent Study in Instrument Repair

While school was in session, an NFA senior, Brandon Latchman, was completing an independent study in Instrument Repair under the guidance of Ms.Jillian Caci, music teacher at NFA Main Campus. He has continued his work throughout the shutdown and is currently building a mandolin. Brandon is also the first chair violinist in the NFA Main Orchestra.

He was focusing on string instruments and bringing a 100 year old violin back to life! This is highly skilled work and also a potential career path.
