BASHO & FRIENDS creates original musical content which can be used as a learning tool to help students explore languages, experience diverse cultures and build the skills needed to be active participants in our increasingly global community. We do all this through the use of international music, animated and live action videos, games and fun! BASHO & FRIENDS revolutionizes teaching by creating multilingual musical content on a safe digital platform that incorporates catchy hooks, call and response techniques, high energy beats and memorable lyrics. Our learning materials are intended as a supplemental resource for teachers that can be accessed on student’s own time using devices they have at home. Aligned to Common Core standards in the US, our content makes learning fun while exposing young people to new ideas and cultures.
