  • 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.

  • Outstanding job instructor!!! The voices of your children are extraordinary. Please continue to share love.

  • This is amazing.!!!

  • gave me goosebumps!

  • 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.

  • our choir learned the same version of this song!! of course we are much older and still didnt sound as great as ya'll did

  • I don't know about the earth, but there's peace in me after that.

  • 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.

  • Dear Teacher and wonderful PS 22 chorus,

    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...
