Public School 37 is alive again with the sound of music - thanks to one gifted young boy. For more than a year, the Queens elementary school went without a music program after its band teacher left and the school couldn't afford a replacement. Now, the school has a thriving band that plays Ben E. King, Bow Wow and Bob Marley. And it's directed by one of its students, an 11-year-old pianist and saxophone player who knew his classmates needed music in their lives. "Music makes this school more alive," said sixth-grader Paul Sheriff, leader of the Cynthia Jenkins School Band. "The school is better with music in it."
