The gesture of explanation and teaching. Sense of peace and spirituality. To improve concentration and memory.

Doran is not only a regular orchestra member, but also a high school music teacher. Not much time is ascribed to music in a school curriculum, so Doran teaches classes in three schools. He assembled a big symphony orchestra in the Central High School. Everyday at 7 am Doran packs as many students as possible to his old vehicle, so there are many more people in his car than there are safety belts. This way, he gathers students for a rehearsal, and then takes them back to their schools by 8 am. On their way, they listen to songs on the car's radio. Wow, this one was popular when I took my SAT test, Doran keeps shouting. That's sort of educational, too, he believes. You can see all the local and state prizes the school orchestra won, and the secrets the kids have to keep! One of his students is Andrea, daughter of Colin, the oboist. She is the only one who prefers walking.
