What stories should we tell about the arts?
That's a question we sometimes ask on our Facebook page. Jason Towler suggested we profile Ypsilanti music teacher Crystal Harding and he had a good reason to suggest her.

Harding made a big impression on the shy young man, and that's what this story is about.
Towler was pretty nervous the first day he walked into Harding's classroom as a child. He was worried they'd be forced to sing lame music all day long, as Towler explains here:
These days, Towler is a special education teacher in the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools.
