Celebrate the joy and importance of music with this powerful all-school revue

by Teresa Jennings

Music programs everywhere are under fire. Budgets and teachers are being cut with little regard for music's value and influence in our lives. That is what inspired Teresa Jennings to create this versatile revue. It gives you everything you need to showcase your music program, dramatizing the value of music for students, parents, and administrators alike. The published revue consists of five original songs. They are "United We Sing," "I Like Music," "Down To The Bone," "Don't Take My Music Away," and the stirring, emotional finale "Music Touches Children Most Of All." There is also a reprise of the infectious title song, and if you did the revue just as it is published, it would last 20 - 25 minutes, depending on pacing. But the carefully written script is easy to adapt, and the real beauty of the design is that it makes it very easy to customize so that you can easily insert a recorder feature, an Orff demonstration, the school's band or orchestra, or any other music that your singers are learning. This compelling all-school revue gives you everything you will need to create a powerful, moving performance that shows off your entire music program.
