Have you and your children ever dreamed of seeing Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel, sing live?
That dream came true for the lucky students of Mosaic Preparatory Academy, a PreK-6 public elementary school located in the heart of East Harlem in New York City. Broadway
Inspirational Voices (BIV) recently helped save Mosaic's music department and Jodi Benson lent her voice to the cause.
Jodi
and BIV are both supporters of music in school and recognize the
importance of the arts in a well rounded curriculum. Please take a look
at the featurette below. The
students sign “Part of Your World” as Jodi sings to celebrate music in
school
and the recent Blu-ray release of The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition.
