disclaimers

* Know your audience and always screen all songs before showing. *


Manie Musicale songs are chosen by a screening team of about 30 volunteers.  We review all songs and videos carefully and are reasonably confident that they are “clean” and appropriate for most audiences.  However, please always use your own judgment and discretion when using our playlist and materials created by other teachers.  Be careful when assigning students to do research on the artists or other songs by those artists, especially if you teach younger students.   It is logistically impossible for our team of volunteers to fully vet all past actions, videos, and songs for all Manie Musicale artists.  You know your students, school, and community best.  Please always screen all songs, videos, and materials before using them in class.

Still unconvinced?  Need some tips?  Check out this message from Paula in Ontario, Canada (March 2024):

Feeing blessed this morning, to be a part of this incredible journey… What an impressive undertaking by such passionate and inspiring human beings! 

Being a newbie this year, I have been following all convo here and on your FB Page. It only takes a few minutes each day to keep up. I highly recommend this practice to people wishing to sign up for the first time. 

The main website has also been a saving grace for me with all the introductory videos and highly organized Google drive. The videos helped me understand that the drive doesn’t have to be overwhelming when you decide first, whether you wish to participate in a “mild, medium, or spicy” way. 

The other thing I found useful was to grab items posted on FB which were timely, easy to locate using the search option, or updated versions of what is placed in the drive. Often what is being discussed in FB is getting rave reviews so I couldn’t go wrong. (And, since this lovely and supportive community catches typos/errors, human mistakes are caught early in the kindest of manners.)

Thank you to the team for going above and beyond your (paid) day jobs to provide this amazing competition for students and teachers alike!    Already, I cannot wait until next year! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
