// LANGLEY SCHOOLS MUSIC PROJECT




What's more awesome than Johnny Cash singing "Desperado"??......nothing. But a close second is a beautiful rendition by nine-year-old Sheila Behman. That's just the tip of the Iceberg....The Langley Schools Music Project is a 60-voice chorus of rural school children from western Canada, untrained but captivated by melodic magic, singing tunes by the Beach Boys, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, The Bay City Rollers, and others. The students accompany themselves with the shimmering gamelan chimes of Orff percussion, and elemental rock trimmings arranged by their itinerant music teacher, Hans Fenger.
