If you didn’t get a chance to hear Morning Edition classical music commentator Miles Hoffman today on NPR, follow the link below to hear a wonderful story about how an unlikely video sharing service can be used in educating our students:

As a musician and a teacher, Hoffman says his YouTube interest is also piqued from an educational standpoint.

“What I realize from talking to students all over the country is that there are so many great artists that they have not only never seen, but never even heard of. I think it would be a wonderful idea for educators all over the country to make lists of suggested YouTube links for their students, so that they can be exposed to great performances of great music.”
