Could you imagine meeting the voice behind your favorite Disney Character? Well the lucky students of Mosaic Preparatory Academy, a PreK-6 public elementary school located in the heart of East Harlem in New York City had their dream come true. Broadway Inspirational Voices (BIV) recently helped save Mosaic’s music department and Jodi Benson lent her voice to the cause.
Jodi and BIV are both supporters of music in school and recognize the importance of the arts in a well rounded curriculum. The students signed the song ” Part of Your World” as Jodi sings to celebrate music in school and the recent Blue-ray release of “The Little Mermaid: Diamond Edition. Below is a clip of Jodie’s visit to Mosaic Prep.
