Tester Guest-teaches Music Class at Billings School
Inbetween stops on his Countdown to Change Tour (full schedule here), today Big Sandy farmer and former music teacher Jon Tester returned to his roots, teaching the basics of trumpet and tempo to a classroom full of preschoolers and kindergartners.
Tester began the class at the Billings Montessori School with his trumpet in one hand and a bag full of kazoos in the other. Together, they played and hummed various renditions of ‘Mary Had a Little Lamb’ while learning the fundamentals of music.
Tester, a trumpet and piano player, taught music to elementary students years ago in Big Sandy, where he currently operates a dry-land farm.
“I had a blast,” Tester said. “Kids are our future. They’re full of energy and they’re eager to learn. It’s always great to get back to the classroom.”
