Music Class a Hit with Kids and Online Viewers


PS22 Chorus of "Eye of the Tiger" by SURVIVOR


"Meet the choir of P.S. 22 from Staten Island, N.Y.

Who knew fifth-graders had so much soul?

'Fortunately, I knew fifth-graders had that much soul,' Breinberg said.

Known as 'Mr. B' to his students, Breinberg is the first to admit that he's not your typical chorus teacher. At times he acts more like an overgrown fifth-grader than the 35-year-old he is.

As he sees it, his job is to coax students to forget the sheet music and just sing. One of his tactics is to dispense with the usual music class fare."
