Mr. Holland's Opus Page #2

Oh, right there! Yeah.

Right there. Yeah.

Iris... I think this is gonna be|a lot rougher gig than I originally thought.

You know, when I was in high school...|I wanted to be someplace else, you know.

Anyplace.

It never occurred to me that|my teachers would feel the same way.

Well... you can still quit.

- Nah. We"ve been through all that.|- The band"s getting pretty good.

We could play Holiday Inns|for the rest of our lives.

- Or Los Angeles.|- I don't wanna be a studio musician.

So, It's four years" teaching, then.

Come here.

When you were in high school...

did you ever wonder|if your teachers got it on at night?

When I was in high school|my teachers were all priests and nuns.

I had such a crush on Mr Griffith.|He could"ve taken me home any time.

- Really?|- Mm-hm.

And who was this Mr Griffith?

Oh... he was my music teacher.

OK. OK.

That wasn't bad. That wasn't bad at all.

- Miss? I'm sorry.|- Lang.

- Pardon me?|- Lang. Gertrude Lang.

OK. Miss Lang, um... would you|take it from bar 37, please?

OK. OK.

Good. Good. That's enough for today.

I'll see you all tomorrow. Very good work.

Miss Lang? Would you mind|hanging for a moment, please?

You seem to be having a little trouble|getting through the break.

I know.

- How long have you been playing?|- Three years.

Really?

Uh...

Do you find that you get|all the practice time that you need?

I practise constantly, yeah.

Well...

then I think... I think maybe|you and I should find some time

to work on an individual basis.

- That would be great.|- I don't have a lot of time, but...

that's OK. Whatever you can give me.|I really, really wanna do good at this.

I bet you do. Um...

Well, come in about a half-hour before|first period tomorrow and we"ll just start...

OK. All right. Thank you...|thank you very much. Thanks.

When a flat precedes a note, like this,

it indicates that the note|is to be played a half-step lower.

A piece based in F major

should have a flat sign|at the beginning of every stave.

These tests... are pathetic.

"Name an American composer. "

Miss Swedlin, your answer was?

"Bach"?

"Johann Sebastian Bach. "

Oh, this is my favourite one.

"How do you know|what key a concerto is in?"

Mr Mims, your answer was|"Look on the front page?"

Now, this question mark -|was that because you weren"t sure?

Or because your English skills are on|the same level as your musical theory?

These tests are a waste|of my time, and yours!

No kidding! L"d rather be somewhere else.

Mr Sullivan! Why don't you pay a visit|to Mr Wolters, right now!

Get your books and get outta here!

As for the rest of you,|get your textbooks out.

We"re gonna go over these answers|one by one until you get them right.
