This article offers an autobiographical account of my first 3 years in elementary school in Ontario, Canada, in the form of a memoir and commentary. A first-level analysis uses historical sources to identify the particular confluence of political, cultural, social, and educational factors that shaped music instruction in Ontario at the time. A second-level analysis identifies recurring issues and dilemmas tacitly embedded in the narrative and raises questions that have continuing relevance for the profession at large.
