The lyrics for many songs will be included in the text, so that students may analyze and interpret each song, as they would any other source material. This innovative approach provides a non-commercial means for contemporary musicians and recording artists to share their lyrics with educators and students. We give a very special thanks to the artists and music publishers who provided song lyrics for our first edition of Learning From Lyrics and to those who are currently considering such a request. Production of Audio Visual educational materials. Network to arrange school visitations by musicians.
Individual contributions are also welcome.
This learning strategy helps young citizens to develop critical skills, essential for participation in a modern democratic society. In a broader sense, we are promoting art and media based education as means of reaching the growing number of disadvantaged or at-risk youth through performance projects and powerful learning experiences. Song-based lessons, projects, and activities are tools that will enable educators to create opportunities for all students to experience success in the classroom. All students can learn, but first you must get their attention. Johnathan Chase, President Special thanks to Brian Burgess, Maureen Christensen, Norm Hait, and Chris Chase.
