Class Functions: Motivation from Music (Miami Herald)
The horn riffs in the Beyonce/Jay-Z hit Crazy for each other ricochet within the music
room at North Miami Junior High School, where a number of teens are throwing around
suggestions for an approaching concert.
The room’s dark walls are dotted with concert posters of Paul McCartney, Jimi
Hendrix, the Beastie Boys and Bela Fleck. In some way, a short guitar passage from
an in-depth Crimson rock hit from the early ’70s sneaks in to the sonic stew.
A number of teens spend time at desks inside a circle and toss ideas concerning song
options for any coming spring concert.
Most wish to perform stylish-hop tracks from the kind of Lil Wayne,
Beyonce and can Cruz. One kid mentions Sexy and Yes, It by contemporary
pop act LMFAO. Another person indicates the somber Sarah McLachlan ballad, Angel.
One more pulls Survivor’s Rocky III oldie, Eye from the Tiger, from the
mothballs. Lil Wayne’s Blunt Blowin’ draws a elevated eyebrow from mentor Chad
Bernstein, that has the ultimate say.
“We may need to perform some lyrical changes,” he stated, drawing chuckles.
Only a regular Wednesday mid-day at North Miami Middle’s Guitars Over Guns
(GOGO) after-school coaching and music program.
