Playing For Change: Connecting the World Through Music

Article from The Tyee
Playing for Change Website

I was browsing The Tyee (online BC daily magazine that is always worth a look through) and came across an article about Global Music.
Take 5 minutes and watch the video. It's an inspiring project that collaborates the creativity and brilliance of musicians around the world. The message is simple: bringing peace to the world through music. If you want more information, just check out the playing for change website above. There is even reference to "Where the hell is Matt," which I am sure most of you have seen. Again, if not, worth checking out. His story is interesting.
Bringing music into the classroom is something that I thought of, but never really considered. Interestingly enough, my sponsor teacher played music during the breaks (some country, he's a cowboy), and the students seemed to like it. He also put it on at the beginning of class, while everyone was getting settled down. I think I might need music to settle me down too!
