In April of 2016, Seattle choir director and fifth-grade teacher Margaret Haney checked into the emergency room with an unusual problem — suddenly, she couldn’t sing.
Haney had been in the classroom, trying to lead her students through George Gershwin’s “Summertime” when, as she put it, “I failed miserably, like I never have … my students were giving me some funny looks.” She skipped on to “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’,” but said she “couldn’t find the notes to save my life — and it’s a song I’ve been singing since I was 4 years old.” Full story.
