3. I won't link the article here but
while I was searching for videos of the choir, I came across a piece in a NY rag. The writer pointed out that since the PS 22 music teacher had enough seniority, his students should be thankful that he wouldn't have to worry about being laid off. Of course the fact that he just may be a talented teacher because he has seniority and years of practice was lost on this writer.

But I'm sure you'll understand why I won't link it here. :)

11. That was in September
He starts with several new kids every year. So this is after only a few weeks of practice.

This guy is an absolutely amazing teacher. I am in awe of what he does.
