Daniel Christians "Thought Rock" Inspires Students from the Stage
Summary
The album, clearly influenced by years of studying English grammar and literature, features the Beatle-esque tune "Estella," about the classic Dickens character, as well as the anthemic sing-along "New Sun Rising" (written for a class of graduating high school seniors).The cheesy, motivational classroom décor was absent in favor of posters of his favorite bands and films, and a sign that read: Education: The Next Best Thing to a Record Deal, but this new "actions speak louder than words" philosophy is perhaps his most unorthodox teaching method to date.That’s right—his students.At first glance, Christian shares many similarities with the scores of his contemporaries found on iTunes and stages across the country, but unlike many of them, Christian’s approach to music springs not from depression, hardships, or drugs, but from a career in education.The album, clearly influenced by years of studying English grammar and literature, features the Beatle-esque tune "Estella," about the classic Dickens character, as well as the anthemic sing-along "New Sun Rising" (written for a class of graduating high school seniors).The cheesy, motivational classroom décor was absent in favor of posters of his favorite bands and films, and a sign that read: Education: The Next Best Thing to a Record Deal, but this new "actions speak louder than words" philosophy is perhaps his most unorthodox teaching method to date.
