Knauss, PHD, DHL, taught city-wide K-12 general music for nearly 3 decades, helped to develop an award-winning music department and general music curriculum, led his students to relate to each other as family members to become outstanding musicians, and saw the community’s artist values change as the school district’s music program became the city’s icon.
