//YouTube Video of Bobby McFerrin and the Pentatonic Scale:// media type="youtube" key="Hodp2esSV9E?fs=1" height="385" width="640"

//Bobby McFerrin doing Ave Maria:// media type="youtube" key="PgvJg7D6Qck?fs=1" height="385" width="480"

This reminded me of //**Paradise Road**//, the movie which was a few years ago..true story about women in the World War 11 (Japanese Prisoners of Wars Camp) and they learnt classical orchestral works (basically a vocal orchestra). I have the soundtrack for this movie and it is beautiful, still can't bring myself to watch all of it since my grandfather was in World War 11 in PNG.

YouTube Clip of Soweto Youth Gospel Choir warming up and doing do-re-mi. This has got me thinking...Sometimes kids need to see other people doing warmups, and get a good idea of sound...Search on YouTube for Choir Warmups. media type="youtube" key="qeWAqchNHsY?fs=1" height="385" width="480"
