Help[Facts] Re: Pronunciation of Tone Kwas
in reply to a message by Judith
Hi.
With 100% certainty, I can tell you the pronunciation of his first name is simply "tone," like a musical tone. Not "tone--ee!"
How do I know this?
He was my teacher, a mentor, my employer (for one gig, while I was in the 9th grade!).
I had an interesting relationship with the guy. In 7th grade, he "demoted" me from 'A' band to 'B' band (in front of the whole band; because I got nervous and couldn't hit a few high notes)...and in later years, he became my "champion," in hiring me and a few friends to play for his daughter's (or niece's?) party. Senior year, he was part of the faculty that voted me the annual award in the music department.
