In his memoir, Dr. George E. Allen looks back at a career spanning
more than five decades of teaching music to Philadelphia students.
Early on in life, he learned about many styles of music, and he
took his love of the art to college, where he earned multiple
degrees before joining the Philadelphia School District. There, he
earned the respect of students, fellow music teachers, and music
administrators. It wasn't easy, but he did it his way and enjoyed
positive results. He inspired the same type of dogged effort in his
students, relying on a phrase that he placed at the beginning of
all his syllabi: "It is better to know than to think you know." He
first heard that on the phone from Ellis Marsalis, the father of
jazz musician Wynton and a well-known musician in his own right.
Allen adopted the phrase as one of his own mantras, never allowing
his students to say "I think" or "I can't." Whether you are someone
who loves music, an education professional, or someone thinking
about becoming a teacher, you can find inspiration in Allen's love
for music, education, and his students. It was time for me to begin
serious work on writing about my experience as a music educator in
Philadelphia because I did it differently with satisfying results.
