Keith Urban Makes Surprise Visit To Nashville High School

12-time CMA Award winner Keith Urban recently met with students from Hillwood High School in Nashville’s Rock Band, Orchestra, Choir and Band programs. During his visit, Urban hosted a Q&A session that discussed songwriting, performing, and the music industry.

In addition to offering students tips and words of encouragement, Urban was also treated to a pair of student performances in preparation for their winter concerts–one from the school’s Rock Band and the other from its String Orchestra, which performed Urban’s hit “Wasted Time.”

“There is nothing more fulfilling than experiencing the incredible impact music has on a student’s life,” says Tiffany Kerns, Executive Director, CMA Foundation. “Whether they are performing music or talking about the transformative power of music, yesterday’s school visit reiterated that our priority in education is always our students’ ability to be successful, heard, and seen. Keith provided insight on his musical journey but more importantly, he shared a commonality with the students-music making is life changing and critical to our next generation.”
