Did you know that when the latest unmanned vessel was sent to Mars that a recording also went with it to be broadcast back to earth. Will I Am of the Black Eyed Peas penned this song and recorded it with an instrumental orchestra and an orchestra of school children. I found it fascinating.
I love how the guy in the black shirt (most likely a scientist) can't clap on beat. But I am sure his other brain abilities outweigh his lack of rhythm.
While this fascinated my pants off, the reasoning behind the song and the movement that has started is of important note to educators. Please listen to the intent behind the project and the movement that this talented musician his spearheading.
It's interesting how music is taken out of schools but yet, we worship performers. It might be because there is something in those performers and their work that inspire us to be more... to do more. They set the example of an insane work ethic, in most cases, that I hope will rub off to people in other industries... in the sciences, in math, in psychology, etc. If only people in the other industries would be compensated nearly as well.
I am looking forward to see what happens with the SYSTEM initiative.
