Editorial Reviews

Having taught under this philosophy and now as a school board member, this book nails it! Cap Lee has said out loud what many of us have been thinking. More importantly, he offers commonsense solutions to the problems that have plagued educators for many years. If you are an educator or are connected to education in any way, then this book is a must-read.

Music was the glue that held everything else in my academic life together. I was unchallenged and thus uninterested in the traditional subjects, but music gave me life and purpose. In this book, Cap Lee describes how to connect with all students in a manner unique to their interests.
