COLUMBIA — A Maury County Public Schools student is getting some well-deserved recognition for her songwriting. Aubree Harper had an original song selected as part of a songwriting unit developed in collaboration with the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, according to the school district's Facebook page. The program gives students real creative tools and connects them to the living tradition of country music just up the road in Nashville.
It's a fitting week for this recognition, given that another Harper — American Idol winner Hannah Harper — is also making headlines for her musical talent. The name Harper is having a very good May in Maury County. Congratulations to Aubree and to the teachers who made this program possible.
