Leader of the Band: Teacher talks about Music Education

“It’s a double-edged sword,” said Cathy Kintner, referring to teaching music. “You do it because you love these kids. You definitely don’t teach for the pay.”

Kintner is the Band Director and head of the music department in Beaverton, Michigan. A veteran teacher, she has taught all music programs at the school for several decades.

Kintner has no plan to slow down and continues to teach seventh- through twelfth-grade students for the advancement of music in her rural town.
