WNYC Young People's Radio Choir with Soundcheck's John Schaefer, WNYC President and CEO Laura Walker and conductor Francisco Nunez (WNYC)Music for Young People
Today, Soundcheck takes an in-depth look at some of the city's current music education initiatives with prominent figures from the arts and education community. We welcome the WNYC Young People's Radio Chorus and their conductor Francisco Nunez, who will perform live in the studio. They are joined by Nancy Shankman, a professor at NYU and former Director of Music for the NYC Public Schools, as well as a representative of the Department of Education. We also take listeners' calls on the state of music education. Finally, we welcome the creator of Ralph's World, Ralph Covert, who makes indie pop-inspired children's music. He's part of a trend of young, independent musicians bringing folk and 1960s-era pop to the stage for kids, and performs live in the studio.
