I believe that music is the greatest art form there is, it doesn’t matter the instrument you express it, only matters the will and the capacity to express it. In these videos, you can see that magic can be possible with humble instruments.

And listen to this recording made in the seventies, of schools kids covering Space Oddity from David Bowie, it’s not perfect in terms of tunning, but that is not really important:

(no video, just the music, none was made originaly)

The Langley Schools Music Project

These 1976-77 recordings, captured on a 2-track tape deck in a school gymnasium, weren’t staged to achieve money or fame, to sell albums or land a record contract. These kids played music because they loved it. Innocent, flawed and bittersweet, guided by Fenger’s unsuspecting genius, these recordings deserve to be heard and preserved. They brim with charm and youthful élan, sparked by flashes of lo-fi Spectorian majesty and Pet Sounds subtlety. Call it folk art, outsider, or campfire rock — the labels don’t matter. These are gorgeous, heavenly artifacts. Period.
