Next week we celebrate MLK Day. In music class this week our Song of the Week is "Free at Last". This song based on Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a Dream Speech" is by Teresa Jennings. You can hear it and download it here.
In addition to singing this song, some classes watched a very clever version of his speech. A student from Brooklyn, NY used video clips of the speech and ran them through auto-tune. Auto-tune is technology that alters voices to be more in-tune. It was originally designed for singers, but this student used it to create a song from a speech. Watch his final project below.
My 4th and 5th graders LOVED this! They went home and pulled it out on their home computers and showed their parents. Thanks for sharing!
