I just learned today via a friend on Facebook about an incredibly inspired music instructor and his marvelously gifted kids at a public school on Staten Island. The PS22 Chorus, consisting of what look to be fourth graders, have made a name for themselves doing covers of contemporary hits, and their latest effort has already hit the blogosphere hard. So this likely isn't the first you'll be reading about them, nor will it be the last. L&Gs, some amazing kids and their gem of a teacher performing Phoenix's "Lisztomania." It was one of my favorite singles of last year, and I like it even better in the sound and vision of young boys and girls singing together with such obvious joy. (I was going to say "glee," but that word's been co-opted for the moment.) I wish my own days of classroom chorus had been such pleasant experiences.
