I could listen to this forever! This is incredible. The kids should be proud and their teacher is AWESOME. Makes me miss choir and makes me want to make sure my little girls always find ways to be involved in music (preferably singing like their mother, but maybe I'm a bit biased, lol)
you are a WONDERFUL man for what you do for these kids. this song did bring tears to my eyes! that little girl can singggg and they blend so well for that young!
WOW THIS VIDEO WAS AWSOME. YOU GUYS SHOULD DO JUSTIN BIEBER SONGS I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOU GUYS SING SOME OF HIS SONGS. GREAT JOB. LOVED YOU GUYS ON THE GRAMMYS AND ON OPRAH. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
To Mr. B, if you read this. I am a music teacher in New Jersey, and I wanted to thank you! I want to thank you for proving to America that music SHOULD be taught in schools! The love and determination in your student's faces show how music inspires them. You have proven that YOU inspire them as well. These children are amazing and YOU are amazing. There needs to be more people like you in this world. I would love for one day to meet you and your students!
First off, these kids have BEAUTIFUL voices; the raw, natural talent is astounding, when you consider that they are NOT a, regional, auditioned choir.
2nd - The type of harmony they do -- close, often in thirds-- is the HARDEST to get young kids to do, although it is the most common harmony in pop music. There is a LOT of work this teacher puts in with these kids, especially with the alto section, to make sure they don't abandon the harmony and "wander over" to the melody part.
We used to sing this song around the campfire when I was a Girl Scout. Or in middle school asseblies. Thought it was lost forever. Thanks for singing it so beautifully.
This was sung annually back at my primary school on every leavers assembly and that was over a decade ago!! Was one of my fav songs, I remember singing it with so much passion! Haha.. Great to see it still being sung by these lovely kids!
I hope I can be as good as you in my teaching career! You have done an amazing job, the kids truly are sooooo amazing! This has made me cry but inspired me too! So thank you :) Truly beautiful!
this is so beautiful it brings tears to mi eyes.they show so much emotion for their age in their choir unlike some choirs today.i hope they keep it up because thay can all be someone they want to be.im totally subscribing.keep up the good work!
same here we hav to sing this song in front of 1000 people and i am singing solo the part samantha did embarassing ;l well samantha has a great voice best singer ever thumbs up!!!
WOW!!!!! We sing this song at the end of our church service every week and it has never sounded so good. And wow can that little girl SANG!! What raw powerful emotion in her voice. Thank you for uploading - and thank you to all those little one singing their beautiful hearts out!!
This is the song we sing at Detroit Unity Temple at the end of each service. The whole congregation holds hands . Of course these kids blow us away. Beautiful.
Tears! The children are wonderful and that goes without saying but the teacher....god bless him! I think he made me tear up more. He is paving our future and all these children will be better adults because of him.There is hope :)
I can't get enough of this teacher and his kids! Wow! If you ever transfer to Florida let me know. I would transfer my children to your school immediately!
This has got to be one of the most beautiful things I've seen and heard in my life. These kids are beautiful and wonderful and they have learnt the love for music that you have. I am absolutely sure that you have changed the rest of their lives for good. The passion and the love they show when they sing is amazing. There should be more people like you in this world, and in schools, changing the lives of kids, making them better, teaching them to be confident and feel proud of themselves.
THIS. why we have to keep the arts in our schools - never mind how amazing these kids sound - look at their faces, the passion and the joy, fully present in what they're doing! It's every teacher's dream, and goal - at least it should be.
This is so beautiful and touching. I've watched/listened to this many many times. How I wish there was peace on earth, that my son had not been in the Army and had to fight in Iraq, that people everywhere were kind and cruelty did not exist. Congratulations all! It's a thrill too see such young people who do seem to wish for peace and can sing this so sincerely. Many blessings to you all...
OMG...that WAS awesome! How beautiful and passionate they are! It took all but 30 seconds for tears to start welling up as I watched this with my four year old dd. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Makes me really wonder what the politicians are doing cutting money from school music programs. I've seen a bunch of these videos tonight. That teacher at that school is incredible. He really gets these kids excited about the songs.
Honestly, I've seen so many choirs and been in a few myself and I've never seen kids this age feel a song and be so into it like these kids on this video. Every single one of them! The soloist sang with so much passion! The notes, pitch, EVERYTHING was spot on! They are awesome!
This is beautiful, the girl doing the solo, will come far. She should forever sing. You all brought tears to my eyes, with beauty. My congrats.
