by Scott Lang
First published 2014
Scott Lang finds himself holed up in a safe house, dodging a gang of furious knitters who want revenge. From his hiding spot, he turns his sharp wit toward the world of music education, firing off questions that challenge everything teachers think they know. Why do so many parents steal? What connects gun control to marching bands? Why should schools pour more money into band programs? Would you choose a bowl of insect innards over a worm bath? Lang serves up his unconventional takes in the same conversational tone that makes his speaking engagements memorable. He invites readers to settle in for a long chat about the strange profession of teaching music. His irreverent observations slice through traditional thinking, mixing entertainment with genuine insight. This is a book that demands to be read twice and passed along to fellow educators.
