Music and Children’s Television
The music program at The Kid’s school covers music history, from time to time focusing on particular artists. I’ve so far been astounded by the selection of artists. The Kid will come home and tell us that his class learned about Ray Charles or Duke Ellington. We never got much past Mancini when I was in fourth grade.
This last week his class studied Stevie Wonder. Which, again: Damn. His school’s music teacher is great. It also reminded me of perhaps the best children’s television moment of all times. So hooray for schools with music programs, and hooray for Sesame Street.

The quality on this one isn’t as good, but you can still rock out to it:<br /><br/><object width=”425″ height=”350″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Jl4DAlHlw5A”></param><param name=”wmode” value=”transparent”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/Jl4DAlHlw5A” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” wmode=”transparent” width=”425″ height=”350″></embed></object>
