A Young Composer's Dream
Farah Taslima knew nothing about writing music when the New York Philharmonic's teaching program visited her third-grade class in New York City. Now in seventh grade, Farah is an internationally known composer.

"I never in my entire life dreamed that something like this would happen," Farah told TFK. "It's unbelievable."
