Equestria Music University. It mean a new opportunity - and a new beginning - for Octavia Philharmonica. Unfortunately, there's more than a few things she needs to deal with: like a rambunctious DJ roommate whom she despises named Vinyl Scratch; a moody rockstar pegasus named Thunderlane, who is absolutely gorgeous and also happens to be very unavailable; and a kooky musical professor who either has a massive crush on her or is crazier than Nightmare Moon.

Really, it's no wonder Octavia writes letters to her cello. It's the only thing the poor filly can trust.
