Descripción de Making Music to Tackle the Drop Out Crisis

Have you heard Pushed Out, the 5 track album that Philadelphia Student Union members created? The album tells the story of one student who is dealing with Philadelphia's nearly 50% drop out rate. After finishing the cd, students helped design a curriculum that teachers and others can use along with the cd to talk about the drop out crisis. The curriculum engages young people, helps them identify the root causes of why so many students are dropping out, and talks about student-driven solutions. This new curriculum is being used in some of Philly's classrooms and community centers, but PSU is still working towards our goal of copying and distributing the CD to over a thousand public high school students. Visit PSU's Movement Music page to listen to the songs or make a donation that will go towards the next album that students will be producing this summer: http://home.phillystudentunion.org/Student-Programs/Soundtrack-Donations-mp3.html In this piece, Candace Carter and Koby Murphy talk about the process of writing and recording Pushed Out. This piece was recorded by Lawrence Jones Mahoney and produced by Othella Stanback.
