Teaching School with a Beat

This book is dedicated to the men and women who have chosen teaching in the public schools as their vocation. As a reward for their efforts, teaching affords them the satisfaction of accomplishment, the joy of success, sadness for failure and the feeling of pride for presenting to students the basics for a full and successful life. The first year of teaching was the worst year of my life. However, I completed thirty years in the public schools as a band director. How I survived those years, I'll never know. My guardian angel must have been perched on my shoulder.
