Celebrating Five Decades in
Music Education: "Nearly fifty
years since being introduced to
the music educator profession
through a 1977 Jr. high school
apprenticeship, this is a time of
deep gratitude to, reflection on,
and realization of the creative
magic of a living tradition
shared by so many teachers,
mentors, artistic collaborators,
and wonderfully inquisitive,
and innovative students over
the time span of half a century"
