Passion Driven Programs
Michele Whitley sent me these videos over the weekend and they made my day. Check out these kids and their teacher from a Staten Island Public School. There is nothing inherently unusual or special about that school or that neighborhood. I am sure that their Pupil Wealth Ratio is lower than many of the suburban districts around here. I am not sure how they would rank in the "Capital Area Business Review." But I am sure that there is something special about that teacher. Even in these short clips you can tell that it is his energy and his enthusiasm that have transformed this classroom from "another music class" into a place where kids can absolutely take off. It is within our power to do this here at Mohonasen. Hope your summer is going well.
What an amazingly motivating music teacher! And these 5th graders are so talented. There is nothing more wonderful than hearing young voices in song. You can tell that they love what they do, and how great that doors have opened for them due to their hard work. Thanks for sharing this! Linda Doulides :)

It really shows how music reaches people. I also love how the teacher has pulled kids out of their shells, in other videos you see a student with a speech impediment rocking the solo's and feeling proud. Love it.
