EDITOR’S CORNER Christopher Carr, Herb Cox, Sam Lowder, Nancy Whittenburger, and Jennifer Wright, who have all been recognized as “Teacher of the Year,” were mistakenly omitted from the list of recipients published in the fall issue. Below are these directors’ honors. Georgia Music News apologizes for this error and congratulates these fine music educators on their awards.
