Joseph Aaron

Very simply stated Joes philosophy was not a little behind the beat, not a little ahead of the beat, but on the beat!

I was just another average student at Juneau who enjoyed Mr Aaron's humor, love of music and joy of teaching ... Wish there were more like him ... Play on Mr Aaron, play on...

Wonderful man who lived a wonderful life. Everyone who knew him adored him.

You learned to be respectful of others even if you didn't always agree with them, they were entitled to their own opinion. I have had the pleasure of hearing him play in many venues. I also was a student at Juneau. When he walked the halls, he commanded respect not because he was a teacher, but because of the person he was. He loved us all as if we were his own...
