The Chorus Has FLAVOR!




This is a song called "Flavor" off of Tori Amos's fantastic new album, which came out only last week! I'm very proud of how quickly and how beautifully the kids learned the song, and Maya and Samantha together on the duet add the perfect touch! Another great job kiddos, I'm loving this one....

You are the unsung hero in this whole deal. The kids are wonderful, but it is your efforts. Truly you are the king of a band of angels.

What leaves me breathless and in awe is how the kids don't control the music, don't own it, but serve it. They BECOME the music and therefore touch on something so beautiful and pure...almost spiritual. I'm curious at how you go about bringing that out... Kudos and thanks to all of you for sharing with us moments of grace.

Congrats on the ABC Nightline feature! It is great to see P.S. 22 getting so much attention. I'm a fine arts teacher myself in Texas (Mr. D, oddly enough) and I have been following you for quite a while (learned about you a few years ago through the atforumz).

Keep up the great work - what you and your students are doing is phenomenal! I hope that the funding will come through so that the students can continue following their passion for music. They are certainly deserving. :)

thank you brandon! we love long time fans... ;)
