We promote the educational use of songs by teachers in all subject areas hence, extending the use and study of songs beyond traditional General Music programs.
Songs are a timeless expression of the human experience.
They capture the history of events, ideas, and people that have shaped our pluralistic society. Song lyrics are an excellent teaching tool, that will engage, excite and motivate young people. The creative process of analyzing and interpreting song lyrics helps students to develop essential research, writing, critical thinking, and media literacy skills. We are currently working on a variety of special programs and cooperative projects involving both educators and members of the music industry.
