A rock band guitarist-turned instrumental music teacher reconnects with a former student-turned technology mogul to provide instruments for a nearby Title I school.
No, it’s not the plot of a yet-to-be released “School of Rock” sequel, but rather the true and heartwarming story of The Emery/Weiner School music educator Kelly Dean and his students.
Dean, who begins his 17th year as EWS’ Instrumental Music instructor on Aug. 20, has built an award-winning music program. It received the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation’s Support Music Merit Award for the seventh straight year, becoming one of only 15 American schools (and the only one in Texas) to receive that honor.
