CPS music teacher brings Cantonstock to life
By GuestThat Cantonstock is alive and well is due, in very large measure, to the inspirational work of Daniel Hulsman, music teacher at the Hansen, JFK and Luce elementary schools.

“The only way to do it, of course, was to do it online, a virtual live-streaming show,” Hulsman said. “It’s been technically challenging, but it’s also been a great deal of fun for the teachers and students. It won’t be same this year, of course, but it will be enthusiastic, entertaining and inspirational.”
Hulsman and the other performing arts teachers in the Canton Public Schools have been encouraging students to submit audition videos. About two hours’ worth of those performances will be streamed live on Saturday, November 7, starting at noon. All the videos submitted will then be made available on the Cantonstock website.
Hulsman, who’s been teaching for seven years, is in his third year in Canton. “It means even more to me now,” he said, “as my wife, Katelyn, and I have two school-age boys and we certainly value the importance of music in their lives.”
Hulsman also noted that MusicCounts, the nonprofit music booster group and organizer of Cantonstock, was a huge surprise and a great advantage when he began teaching in Canton. “The programs and equipment they provide really enhances what teachers and students can accomplish,” he said.
To experience Cantonstock this year, go to musiccountsincanton.org on November 7 at noon and click on the live-stream link. “It will be a lot of fun,” Hulsman said, “and entertaining for the entire family!”
