PS 22: Hope for the future and food for the soul

July 9th 2009 06:30
These kids renew my faith in humanity. There is something so deeply touching about the emotion they convey as they sing. Along with their inspiring music teacher, Gregg Breinberg, the kids of Public School 22 have become an online sensation, and you can't help but just feel GOOD as you watch them.

Most of the kids in Breinberg's music class are underprivileged, below the poverty line, have learning disabilities, or only know English as a second language. But somehow, he's inspired soulful performances from these grade school kids, and they've gained them some very famous fans like Stevie Nicks, Tori Amos, and Neil Finn of Crowded House.

The kids get emotional during a performance. Click the image to visit the official site of PS 22


Take a minute to enjoy some of their performances, and I guarantee you will feel so good after doing so.

It seems that YouTube has removed the above videos due to their new found copyright crackdown... B.S.! I think these artists could make concessions for their songs being beautifully honored by underprivileged kids. Dumb.

Natalina, I'm very sad, especially when I saw the tears coming out from the children...
