Edward Judd, a resident of Auburn, who taught music at Fryeburg Academy from 1975-1977, will be giving a talk on his book, "View from the Podium."  

The book is a memoir tracing Judd's 46 years as a music educator.  Although Judd has been a high school music teacher for most of his career, the book includes many of his experiences throughout that time as a music teacher from elementary school through his time as Band Director at Holy Cross College.  In addition, Judd, a former president of the Maine Music Educators Association, also relates his experiences in professional organizations as a leader on the state and regional levels.  The book has been described as "heartfelt", "illuminating", and "an uplifting story told in a straightforward way".

 Copies of Judd's book will be available, and he will autograph copies at the conclusion of the event.
