Bookroo's summary

In a school where music class is a legend of its own, a young boy braces for the unexpected. With tales of Miss LaNote's eccentric methods, like singing with noses or playing with toes, he wonders what awaits him. Will he have to memorize a million songs, or face even stranger trials? As the class begins, he must confront his fears and discover if the rumors are true. Can he rise to the challenge, or will the music teacher's reputation prove too daunting?

From the publisher

It’s time for music class with Rhoda LaNote: the Music Teacher from the Black Lagoon!

And is it really true that you have to memorize a million songs? Well, it’s time to face the music. Spotlight editions are printed on high-quality paper and with reinforced library bindings specifically printed for the library market. Grades PreK-4.
