Mr Holland's Opus
Music is communication,not necessary communication of information,but of emotion,feeling,mood.And if any piece of music ,any type of music makes you feel something ----- it works.

Principal Jacobs: Teaching is 24 hours job ,Mr Holland.
Holland: Not unless you pay me for it ,Mrs. Jacobs.Good night!
Principal Jacobs:Mr Holland! You haven't been excused yet.
Holland:Am I being made to stay after school?
Principal Jacobs:I was wrong about being this a job---teaching is more .These young people ,your students, are at a crossroad in their lives .Confused, hormones going berserk, faced with monumental decisions that will change their lives forever ,And we try to pump them fuul of data ,that have little to do with real life.
But it all adds up.... to a human being with wants ,needs , ideals, and hopes. You have two jobs.Pump
them full of data ,music data in your case , and give them a compass.Point them in the right direction
so it doesn't all go to waste. You mannage to do that and they will remember you for the rest of their
lives.I don't know how you are doing with the data input , but as a compass , you are useless.
I believe : As a teacher not only give students knowlege, but also should teach students how to learn and how to behave well ,which is the most important content of modern education !
