Teachers, 
"It's just music!" That's what I used to hear from my eighth grade music classes. I knew that I had to create a curriculum that would engage students with a diverse level of musical interests and skills. I wanted to create something that would leave an impression on every student that passed through my door. I want students to walk up to me ten years from now and tell me that they still remember how to swing dance, or how to play happy birthday on the harmonica, or that they go out to the mall and buy CDs of Ella and Eminem. After developing this curriculum for ten years, I invite you to put it to the test. The Radio Hour - It's More Than Music!

"The organization of the book made all the difference in the world!
Kickin' curriculum... flexible as all get out..."

"This curriculum has saved me a load of prep time in my busy schedule and
left me more time to teach. And that's why I'm here! Thanks."

 Melissa Jones Brewster, NY

"After the first time I went I started plugging in your curriculum into my learning results for the middle school level and it was amazing that out of 22 results your program touched solidly on just about all of them 19 to be exact. Which is wonderful for one program since I have grade 5-8 to touch on all 22 areas."

 Alysia Fenton-Stackpole Acton, Maine
