PS22 is getting ready to debut their original musical production, THE 14 CARROT FAIRY TALE! Below are some songs and funny moments from the chorus rehearsal! It's fun to watch everybody enjoying themselves!! (And Mr. B bouncing around like a banana at the piano!) Oh, btw, hi Banana (Breana)!! ;)
Dario sings SOOOOO beautifully, as does the chorus, on this beautiful song written by JUSTIN & Mr. B. This song, like the already classic PS22 Chorus song "BETHLEHEM", was written by JUSTIN & Mr. B while improvising. (You can hear JUSTIN sing the original improv that lead to "KEEP ON GOING" by clicking here: Justin & Mr. B -- Keep On Going))
Eric sings brilliantly on Gloria Gaynor's hit disco classic, "I Will Survive!"
And finally, a nice version of BOUNCING OFF CLOUDS with gym teacher, musician extraordinaire, & nicest guy ever, Mr. Eberle!
Thanks mr.B at least I'm bringing gesture back!

Dear Mr. B.,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't tell you how much your choir's version of "Bouncing Off Clouds" touched me today.
I'm a teacher in Snow Lake, Manitoba, Canada. Last week, I was laid off from my teaching position because of lack of student enrollment. Today, I found out that I got my position back because of all sorts of reasons.
It's been a very big roller coaster of emotions for me these past 3 weeks. All I want to do is teach and I am in love with this town, and I didn't want to leave.
Today, I was walking home on clouds because I knew I got to stay here. I felt absolutely free, this song has been with me all day.
As I sit at home, and I watch this, I see a teacher as dedicated to his students as he can be and a group of students who love music as much as I do. I think your group of students are a talented bunch.
You all made my day brighter with this video. Thank you from the bottom of my smiling heart.

Hi Ziha!
ReplyDeleteYou have EXCELLENT taste in music!! Can't wait to hear your song....

Hey,
ReplyDeleteI am also a Music Teacher in the UK. I teach secondary and primary schools in my local area of the Lake District. Tori Amos has been favourite singer since I was a mere 7 years old. I began learning her music by ear at my baby grand when I was a tiny little girl and now I also try to promote her Music to my classes.
I have to say that your work is stunning, not only your choir but you as an individual seem to have amazing talent and some incredible teaching skills.
What I would do to be able to meet Tori again... I once had the pleasure of shaking her hand whilst in a flood of tears outside Manchester Apollo Theatre. However, if I ever met her again I'd hope to be a little more composed. She is a magical creature who somehow fills me with hope and has saved me over and over throughout my life with her words and her music. Its theraputic and magical, indescribable.. just yummy music.
I have watched all your youtube.com videos and am taken aback by the willingness and enthusiasm that the kids in the choir show. You are one lucky man having the talent and the 'go get them' attitude that these kids are bringing to your classes. I am very envious! If only the kids I taught were more enthusiastic about the subject.
I would love to hear from you if you could spare me a moment to drop me an email. Any ideas which you have for teaching I would also love to share with you.
My email address is little_earth@hotmail.com (please feel free to add me to your MSN list if you have one) OR rachelswirl@dsl.pipex.com
Thank you for taking the time out to read this message!
Congratulations and good luck for the future with your extrodinary choir. WOW!

What a beautiful bunch of kids with huge talent! You guys are truly amazing! I have always been a huge Tori Amos fan and now after hearing the PS22 Choir, they are also at the top of my list. Keep up the good work, each and every one of you is truly an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove a fellow EWF,

Really interesting Blog. As a fellow educator I take my hat off to you for the great work you are doing with the kids.

I love these kids so much!! I found some of your videos at youtube few days ago and I´m impressed ... there is something so wonderful about the way they sing and I really admire them all (the teacher, too) ... please, could you add some more songs to download on the blog? I hope I´ll have a chance to see you live one day, even though I live so far from you ... :D
