"It's Just Music!" This is what I hear from many students as they walk into my class for the first time. Children come into music class expecting to be entertained, to have time to do their math homework, or pass notes to their friends. This lack of respect has left Music Educators scrambling for a way to regain the respect that has been lost by MTV, video games, after school activities and college tracking. I want to share my love for music with everyone. I invite you to help me bring music to everyone.
