We never sang songs like these in elementary school
Until today, I wasn’t familiar with the PS22 Chorus. This group of Staten Island public school students, led by a music teacher unlike any of the ones I had – when we still had music in elementary school, doesn’t sing traditional folk or children’s songs. Instead, they cover songs from modern rockers. Here are a couple that I’ve enjoyed:
Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida”
Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream It’s Over” at Lincoln Center
Their newest release – Keane’s “Everybody’s Changing”
