Search - David Woodward, Mr. Woody and the Pop Machine :: Virtuous Tunes Vol.1

This is character education at its best! Great for kids of all ages elemetary through middle school. And their parents will like it too. From the liner notes: The world of pop music is character education whether we choose to see it that way or not. Pop idols from the super sexy to the super bad stand as representatives of what is cool for all of their young fans. Through their nearly irresistible allure, they can guide us toward self-indulgent consumerism and narcissism. Kids are, of course, easily drawn in, seeking to live vicariously through the apparent perfection created by the media. Virtuous Tunes is pop music. It taps into ambitions and emotions that kids everywhere feel, and yet it isn't self serving. The motivations aren't just for hype sake. The music is to create truly good feelings. This collection of songs is designed to do more than build an understanding of virtues. It seeks to sculpt pathos in the heart and mind of the listeners and guide them in their lives.
Life is character education. Rock on!
