A video of A Great Big World doing their song Say Something with the PS 22 chorus (all children from Staten Island). I love this song with the band Great Big World & Cristina A. so as it is. But this touched my heart with these children. The little girl doing solo is just fab and to me this song is beautiful. Music should be a part of every school curriculum IMO. It is very important. Students who do music excel in their studies.

Re: I think this is just lovely

Shorty, I also have seen them perform maybe on CBS Morning Show that I love to watch (Charlie Rose). You hit the nail right on, that children will excel when getting music in school. Same like with kids who also need exercise/sports. It is a shame, that much of that is not considered when making up the study plan...

Thanks for posting this, and have a nice evening!

Tomorrow it will be warmer in DC and environs. Can finally go outside then again, and my knee will be singing, and so will I, having been cooped up has been awful.

Hugs,

Magenta

This was "crying my eyes out beautiful!" Thanks, Shorty {#emotions_dlg.wub}

And ditto what Jubilant said, for sure.
