Abstract:
One, Two, Ready, Play! is the fictitious story of a band director’s first teaching gig. Set in the mid-1970s in rural New England as students begin to rebel more openly, young Mitch Powers is torn between the adult world of educators and the teenage world of his students. To make matters worse, anything that can go wrong does!

Author Michael Hathaway writes from 30 years experience, collecting stories that he cleverly weaves into a tale with a hint of truth and a lot of humor. He says it should be required reading for anyone thinking about becoming a music teacher!
