Mon, July 4, 2011 at 11:16 AM When we were at school, music lessons were just an excuse to muck around and, ever so occasionally, to actually play an instrument or learn a song. Needless to say we were generally bored out of our minds and completely uninspired by the whole thing.
If music lessons were like this though, using iPads and real instruments together to actually create something we would never have wanted to do anything else!
Neil Johnston the man behind Store Van Music, the company that made this song and video, is passionate about making music education fun and engaging. If this video is anything to go by we should all be listening to him.
This well crafted pop song will get stuck in your head, and if you really like it you should be able to buy it very soon from the iTunes store.

Nice idea, but songwriting does include words.
The same ones over and over and over make listening a painful chore, and makes listening to the whole thing unfortunately impossible.
A for effort, F for content.
WHAT? Miserable comments aside I thought this was all sorts of cool. Yup it's repetitive, yup it's not my taste but hey, guess what, a: its kids doing the do and b: that's the music they like. Also... just... F for effort? Wow, glad you're not marking my work.
Anyhow: top stuff and WELL DONE to Neil and the school kids. Not going to buy the song but huge propr for what they managed to achieve.
