Music as Healer for Bullying and Changing the World
​By Composer Jay Thomas, Jet Musik

Voices Education Project is pleased to add two original choral compositions to the “Words and Violence” Program and to welcome composer Jay Thomas to the list of our contributors. We hope that these pieces of music and the “voices” that are encouraged to speak through the language of music and song will make a difference in the practice world of children—school. School is the place where children design a preview of their life while they transition into adults. We offer this music in the hope that it calls them to their best selves, to find their own kind of music, and share their unique song with the world’s choir creating the future’s song.

It Shouldn’t Bother Me is an experiential case scenario become anthem about bullying—from the perspective of the bully and the bullied. For the Sake of Heart, Jay’s original compositions that is based on a Rumi poem, asks a question: What might happen if the heart were engaged with the world and in creating it?

Viewed as the voice of the poor, misrepresented, disenfranchised and dismissed, black urban youth find in hip hop culture, the “voice” they are often denied in mainstream media where racism can be so institutionalized as to be invisible.
