FIRSTTT!! bahahahahhahahahahha
second!
I love it!
SECONDO!
very cool..
I wished more of my teachers looked like that!!!
1st
first! — to see those kids faces and how insprired they are by just this song… SAVE THE MUSIC…insrpire our future!
first….awesome
I love Tori and am thrilled someone has taken a moment to expose a younger generation to her talent, songwriting, and passion for music. This is a breath of fresh air for children - above and beyond misogynistic rap and mindless music.
really cool
KEEP MUSIC IN OUR SCHOOLS!!! Budget cuts always impact the arts. Kids need music in school just as much as double periods of reading and math. Hopefully the new administration will understand this. And parents should INSIST that their kids have music and drama in the school.
don't any of you have anything better to say than 'first' or 'second'? that is so fucking pointless. why don't you go out and get a life or a job or something?
wait, I know - it's because you're too busy posting bullshit comments on this site.
This is amazing…..
This is amazing…..
BEAUTIFUL!
Ghost ship?!?!?!? I'm scared!
I love tori amos!!
niiice
i wish my kid's had a teacher like that. their music teacher sucks. That teacher is awesome and so are the kids. the passion they have is amazing!! SING ON!!

This is AMAZING! A man after my own heart…talented kids AND Tori AMOS!!!
Thanks for posting this Perez!
That's amazing! Thanks Perez for putting that on your site. I was having a rubbish day but you can't help but feel happy seeing how much they enjoyed singing a Tori song!
awee.
effing cuute:)
Wow! This is great! Teachers really make a huuuuge difference in our lives. God, that just reminded me of middle school and high school. Teachers—our every day heroes!
boring… third?
that is amazing
That is amazing!
The little girl in the orange, front row, is LOVING. HER. LIFE. hahaha
Gorgeous!
that is beautiful
They sound so beautiful! It's good to see that this musicis reaching a whole new generation. This makes me smile…
That was wonderful!
awwww
cute
FIRST!
I love how into it some of the kids were while they were singing. So cute.
one of the most beautiful things i have seen. the kids are so sweet and passionate. LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's the greatest thing I've ever seen I love it!!!
i love the fact that we have such amazing, talanted and inspired public school teachers. kudos!
oh how adorable is this? the kid in the front row rocking out!!! awwww
and the teacher is cute, but if he is an avid tori fan the chances of him being strait are about as good as the chances of tori's natural hair colour being red.
Thank god for teachers like this guy.
Maybe these kids will have a chance and can grow up thinking and writing songs a little more highbrow than "Smell Yo Dick"
Wow, that was awesome! Cute teacher, though he's probably not into girls.
Thank you Perez. This was indeed beautiful. Good job class!
Tori is so awesome!!
Music can change the effing WORLD!!
That and a BIG BLUNT!!!!
Big fucking deal, that sucked! I hate little nigletts!
This is exactly why we have to keep music in our school systems. This is amazing…what a great way to introduce diversity and art to these kids. I was practically crying while watching this. I am in awe of how passionate all of these kids were…AMAZING. Thanks Perez!
thanks for sharing this perez! : )
Perez…you're out of the loop! He has been doing this for years! Tori even came to see the kids perform!
is it weird that i cried? that was very touching….and beautiful to see every race and culture represented….it reminds me of how innocent we all are as kids before we are corrupted by the real world
Wish we all had a music teacher as passionate and free as that guy
So inspiring!
love it!
This made me so happy! The kids look so precious and beautiful! Best post of the day! Teachers can really make a difference in kids lives. I remember how being part of the school choir changed my life. A whole new world was opened up for me. My teacher Mr. Hines (RIP), helped to cement my love of music that carries on to this day.
GIMME THIS HAWWWT LOOKING MUSIC TEACHER AND ILL SIIIING ALREADY!!
hes hot & doing a great job with this class - waay to go!!
Loves xo
Tori owes her sound to KATE BUSH, who is the original Tori Amos. Tori sings just like Kate, who also does the whole sitting-at-the-piano all-weird thing too. And she was famous way before Tori Amos!
RIPOFF.
Why do some gay bloggers go for her?
SHE IS FUCKING SCARY.
This is so amazing. Music is so important!
i love this clip, my favorite ever.
This drew tears from my eyes. They were singing so passionately. They enjoyed every minute and understood it. Their harmony was wonderful, and they all paid attention to what they were doing, not traveling in lala land. These are kids, people. This is what they're supposed to be doing. The internet and cell phones are killing kids. They turn 10, and then they're adults now.
This made me beam with joy. Please hire more teachers like this.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is so inspiring. I'm a teacher who loves Tori, and to see her work inspire kids is amazing.
Re: Jake – I swear to God you are so FUCKING STUPID!! You and all people like you need to just die! You are poison, and since I sense that yoou're a kid, your parents suck for raising somoene like you. This is a beautiful, positive post, and leave it to someone like you to come and ruin it. These kids parents will probably be very excited to see their kids on a major blog, come and check it out, and you're spewing hate. This world is ready to burn, and here you are, unhappy mr. racist, ready to pounce for no god darn reason. I fukkin' hate you. Go and play on that busy train track in your back yard, UGH!
That teacher is hot!

that is amazing.
those kids have so much passion.
that is so funny…i thought my sister told me the school she works at sang for tori amos…thats them! represent staten island ny!!!!!!
Thank you for that bit of inspiration. Those kids were feelin' the love!
This is so wonderful! It is so beautiful to see so many children of different backgrounds coming together to sing. This reminds me of when I was in the choir in middle, junior and high school! Being in the choir kept me away from all the bad things that living in NYC can present a kid. The emotion and enthusiasm on these children's faces in so inspiring. I love how these kids can put away on the stress and pressures of being a kid in NYC, and be innocent and free while singing. This teacher is so inspiring and I hope that the school he teaches in appreciates and recognizes what a wonderful asset he is! Teacher who make a difference are awesome. I am so inspired by this, I am going to volunteer in a children's program this summer!
the video when they meet tori is so sweet!
That was very enjoyable. The teacher is an awesome pianist, and the kids seemed really into the song. Power to them.
And they want to cut music in our school systems…. After this please put something up for the Charity Save the Music. I think after people watch this video, they will want to help. It is so important in NYC to have these programs.
and this is why i, and thousands of others, teach for nyc.
Can you watch this video and vote 5 Stars?
www.cardis.com/idol
search for Areina
I entered a contest and am begging for votes. (I'm honest too lol)
Please rate me on a scale of 1-5 stars… Please try to go for 4 or more! The more 5's I get, the more my score goes up!
Thanks for your support
Omg….that brought tears to my eyes.that was nice.I Effen Luve tori amos!

Re: Jake –
WOW. I only spotted ONE kid that wasn't even trying. All the others are POURING their soul into the song. WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFULL!!!!!!

OMG soooo pretty it brought me to tears w/in the first 60 seconds, the teacher is genius w/ this idea, it really seems like the kids connect w/ the lyrics too!
that made me cry.
what a great teacher.
keep the arts and music in public schools!!!
This is old news. I've seen this over a year ago. Great video though, and he's done more with the kids too. Tori actually met the kids and they sang for her and she cried.
