“Just the Right Note” chronicles how music education led Mary Beakey Guziejka to a career as a music teacher for students of parents stationed at United States military bases across the globe. She thoroughly captures her early life as the daughter of working-class parents in Lowell, Massachusetts during the 1930s and ’40s. Later as a music teacher in public schools in the early 1950s through the 1970s, she relates the trials and triumphs of her dedicated work of sharing the joys of music, dance, drama, and band with her many students in the U.S. and, ultimately, in the ’80s and ’90s in Okinawa, Turkey, Italy, and England. “Just the Right Note” immerses the reader in a memoir by an ‘ordinary’ woman of the 20th century who ended up having some extraordinary adventures. Edited by Susan Mitchell, designed by Eileen Klockars, published by Bard Brook Press, of Belchertown, MA and printed by Levellers Press of Amherst, Massachusetts, with foldout pages of the original sketch of A Polish Anthem for "An Anthem of Peace," 1982, with words by Mary M. Guziejka; arranged by Colin Evans.
