Any educator with the hope and zest for teaching the impossible to any group of less-than-perfect students, PLEASE SEE THIS MOVIE! I first saw this movie as part of a graduate course in the process of getting my MS.Ed. in Education with a group of 40 other teachers. We all wept, applauded, and then brought this same determination to our classrooms in the form of a never-give-up attitude. This video makes it quite clear that with determination, students and adults alike, can accomplish anything they put their minds to: regardless of race, creed, or socio-economic origin. The ability to discipline oneself comes from within and from good role models, such as this music teacher. Please see this movie! It nourishes the inner soul with a sense of achievement for the impossible. Putting one's mind, one's heart, and one's soul into whatever it is that one pusues is all that it takes. This movie transcends all socio-economic barriers, all language barriers, all cultural barriers. The bottom line is this: with determination, you can do anything, be anything. A MUST-SEE!~ Pepita Viola, Spanish TEacher, Manchester Central High School, an inner-city school, representing 64 different countries.

This movie is about a group of children (ages 6-8) growing up in New York that start to take lesson from a violinist. These children start out at a school band and then move to a Knicks Game and finally end up in Carnagaiy hall. A definte must see for all musicians
