Teaching With a Hip-Hop Beat
Soundcheck | May 3, 2010
Call it "Schoolhouse Rock" for the hip-hop generation. Some teenagers grooving to rap lyrics on their iPods are actually learning math, science, and civics. Today, we debate the growing trend of hip-hop as a learning tool in the classroom. Also: French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet loves the voice and opera. His latest album, called "Opera Without Words," contains 10 transcriptions of operatic pieces. He shares highlights with us today. This is a repeat broadcast.
