Summary: Music classrooms around the world share music and culture through regular video exchanges.
Description: Music is the universal language. Music brings people together regardless of differences. Our mission through music is to help our students to reach out, and literally change the world with music. Through the Harmony 4 Humanity program, students around the world share their respective cultures with each other through music. The wonders of modern technology allow the world to be our classroom and provide the means for our students to expand their influence worldwide through Harmony 4 Humanity. Video creations can be as simple or as complex as the individual classroom decides. Students will participate to the greatest extent possible in writing scripts, filming, video production and editing, and performing. While doing this, students will have the opportunity to learn about their own heritage and traditions as well as those of the other participating schools. This experience will be the greatest education we could help them discover.

- Contributions: Each video is intended to be around 10 minutes and will include one song and one item of culture for us to share with each other. I am ALWAYS open to suggestions and you are not required to do it exactly as described. This outline is simply intended to help us all learn about each other in an organized way that will eventually teach us much about each other without overwhelming us with too large of a project all at once. You are ALWAYS welcome to upload videos that you feel would be educational to the group to the gallery, regardless of the schedule.
- Outcomes: The greatest way to rid the world of racism and hatred is one relationship at a time. We expect that as our students develop relationships with other students throughout the world, they will recognize the similarities they all share, discover the goodness of people everywhere and seek for ways to create a better world for us all.
