Jack Schroeder
My interest in music continued until high school when the band director told me “drummers can’t be directors only horn players can teach band”. What a crushing blow!
Listening to my band teacher I found employment elsewhere but the love of music would not go away.
High school theory had taught me basic chords but not how or why they were important. Knowing these “facts” did nothing practical for me. It was like knowing dates in history but not knowing what happened on those dates or how it affects you today.
Adults have little available to them in the music field. You can play in a civic band or sing in church choir. Both are great but the first supposes music knowledge the second limited in scope, neither allows freedom to express your self.
Enter Anatowind. With Anatowind you can improve what you already know. If you have no previous training you can start at the very beginning. Age makes no difference, training makes no difference. All you need is the desire and Anatowind to improve your playing and show you how to express your self musically.
Jack Schroeder is an adult student at the Anatowind Music Clinic. He is also a long - time director of the Green Beret Marching Band, Janesville, WI and a recent retiree of the WI Telephone Co.
