RE: [Hornlist] wasted year
Aap. My kids have had a few crap teachers making between $80-$100K per year just marking time until they could retire at age 58 with a multi-million dollar pension. They've also had some really good ones lower on the pay scale (including a band director, just to make this somewhat horn related).

RANT MODE: ON One of these days we are going to realize that if we want good public schools we have to pay teachers for doing too much of the "heavy hauling" In our society.

Re: [Hornlist] wasted year
So I have a private student who attends a NYC middle school . We were talking about scales and I said when the band director tells band to play a Bb scale what does she tell you to play? Student "whatever scale we want" oh I said she replied "so I play a C scale but it sounds weird". She appears several weeks later and I ask "where is you manuscript book so I can write you lessons and reminders down"? Student "oh my band director took it to copy it she said I sounded better" Debbie Schmidt Sent from my iPhone On Jul 16, 2008, at 12:51 PM, "Leonard & Peggy Brown" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: Lets hear it for music education!
