Joseph S. Pete , 219-933-3316 CALUMET TOWNSHIP, Ind. – Michael Jackson's first music teacher in kindergarten recognized immediately he was a prodigy.

"I taught him 'Climb Every Mountain' from the 'Sound of Music' and later he did," she said."That's what started it. I was his first music teacher. It was unbelievable how one song did all of this." Hill also taught Marlon and Randy at Garnett Elementary. She put Michael Jackson in a choir with fifth and sixth graders because he could sing.

She taught him how to sing and spell"Oklahoma," as well as other songs from musical, spirituals and rock and roll. He performed across the city, such as at the teachers institute at West Side High School. "When you're a teacher you teach hundreds and hundreds of kids," she said."I picked him out of all those kids. Nobody else could sing like that. Nobody else had that clear a pitch. He could sing high and low. It's rare. A lot of kids can sing and not dance but he could do both."
