What Is Mr Holland's Opus

"Mr. Holland's Opus" tells the story of 30 years in the life of a high school music teacher named Glenn Holland, who takes the job in the first place as a temporary measure. His real work, he believes, is to compose music. Teaching is just a way to pay some bills. He realizes only gradually that it is, in fact, his destiny. Like they say, "What you're doing instead of your real job is your real job.” Holland and his wife Iris are a couple fueled by his heady ambitions. He will be a great composer, but then hard financial realities make him take the teaching job, where the hard-edged principal looks him over sternly and reads him as a man for whom teaching has no seriousness.
