UK choir makes music with Mumbai's slum kids

Jesus College Choir -- a choir from the University of Cambridge -- teamed up with non-government organisation Songbound for an unique initiative that culminated at Blue Frog, a popular lounge in Mumbai.

Songbound and the popular choir tried to spread the message of music by holding workshops for children from underprivileged backgrounds. 

Members of the choir taught the enthusiastic children some music techniques and new songs.
