Growing up the daughter of an outstanding educator, Andrea Peterson knew at a young age that she wanted to serve others. It was with this mindset that she started to pursue a degree in medicine. However ,while visiting her brothers who were away at college studying music education, she realized that she too was drawn to teach music.
In her ten years at Granite Falls, she has revitalized the music programs at both the elementary and high school levels,to the extent that an additional music faculty member was hired by the district to assist with the workload. The growth of the music program in Granite Falls School District has encouraged students to participate in county ,state ,and national music competitions ,and won numerous prizes for the district.
Teaching music is only part of Peterson's instruction－it serves as a vehicle to other areas .
"Music is an amazing tool to unlock students' potential. The most visible benefit from their success in music is their increased confidence and self-esteem," Peterson said. "However, I don't believe it is the only benefit, nor the most powerful. It is truly exciting to see how my music teaching can transfer back to other classrooms." With this philosophy, Peterson introduced a cross-curriculum program ,wherein she takes lessons taught in other classes, such as English and math ,and expands upon them in an eight-week unit.
One of the most popular projects in Peterson's classes in the creation and performance of a musical, whereby students create a play from one of the books they have read in another class. Students work together to choose the music that best fits with the overall feel of the play and then perform it for the greater community. "Through Andrea's efforts these kids have helped to put Granite Falls, Washington, on the map for musical talents. Parents, staff ,and community members continue to be in awe of what she is able to bring forth from the children," said Debra Rose Howell, a colleague of Peterson's at Monte Cristo Elementary School.

In the fifteenth century in Nuremberg ,lived a family with eighteen children .They were so poor that two children ,who wanted to pursue their talent for 41 , knew their father would never be 42 able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
So they tossed（掷）a coin. Albrecht Durer, the younger, 43 the toss and went off to Nuremberg .Albert went down into the dangerous 44 and ,for the next four years ,financed his brother , who did so well that his works were even better than those of most of his 45 . By the time he graduated ,he was beginning to earn 46 fees by drawing for wealthy people.
When Albrecht returned home, at dinner he drank a 47 to his beloved brother for the years of 48 that had enabled him to fulfill his 49 . He said, "Albert ,my blessed brother ,now it is your 50 to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream ,and I will take care of you."
With tears in his eyes ,Albert held his hands close to his right cheek and said, "No ,brother. I cannot go . Look... look what four years in the mines have done to my 51 ! The bones in every finger have been 52 at least once. Lately I have been suffering from arthritis（关节炎）so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a 53 to return your toast ,much less make delicate lines with a pen or a brush. No ,brother... for me it is too 54 ."
Deeply moved ,Albrecht painstakingly drew his brother's 55 hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward .He called his powerful drawing 56 "Hands" , to which the entire world immediately opened their hearts and later they 57 it "The Praying Hands."
The next time you see a copy of that 58 creation, take a second look. Let it be your 59 ,if you still need one ,that no one ever makes it 60 !
