| Abstract | Something very special happened in Nova Scotia public schools during the latter half of the twentieth century--dynamic music programs grew in every corner of the province. Teachers with vision, a love of music and tenacity believed in the power and importance of music in the lives of individuals and communities. This book has gathered a bouquet of reminiscences of eleven educators whose resourcefulness and caring were instrumental in the cultivation of creativity in tens of thousands of students. |
