Why Music Matters in Education
Food for Thought
If you've never heard of Eric Whitacre, he's an amazing contemporary choral composer. He piloted an experimental "Virtual Choir" made up of vocalists who used Skype to create a performance while they were individually all over the world. Check out the TED talk about the process here!
Thanks to Mr. Murtha for sharing the TED talk!
