A tight-knit school with music at its core faces the challenge of learning under lockdown.
"The Secret Song" chronicles the final months of Doug Goodkin’s 45-year career teaching music to children in San Francisco. Goodkin’s time-tested methods are thrown into disarray as the pandemic forces schools into “distance” learning, and a music program that always prioritized learning music through the ear, not the eye, has to find a way to keep the music playing and the learning going.
