Reired Column: Where are the now? Buddy Hannaford, Reired Members Chair


We want to know about our retired members. Where are you now, and what is keeping you busy? If you interested in sharing, please contact Buddy Hannaford, Retired Members Chair, at hannafords62@gmail.com


Ed Frederickson, featured retiree.


I retired from Glendale High School in Springfield, Missouri, where I taught band. I received my BS Ed at SMSU in 1975 and MME in Instrumental Pedagogy at Wichita State University in 1979. In 32 years of teaching, I taught mostly in Sullivan and Salem, MO. Six years, however, were in Kansas and Arkansas.


My philosophy has always been that if the mechanics of the instruments and the music are accurate, it will allow the musicality (emotion) to be performed more naturally. A very good musical performance will always give a more emotionally satisfying and meaningful experience to the audience as well as the performers.


Noel Fulkerson, featured retiree.


In 1963 I started my teaching career at Raytown Junior High School. In 1968 I became choral director at Raytown High School and retired in 1998. In addition, I was Music Coordinator for the Raytown District from 1983- 1997. In retirement I am teaching private voice and am Director of the Kansas City Metro Men’s Chorus.


While fundamentals of music/ musical literacy are basic goals of any successful school music program, that is not enough. Music, to be worthwhile, must have emotional impact, plus an understanding of cultures to be relevant and basic to a comprehensive music education.
