Barry Manilow is continuing his historic residency with a five-show run at Radio City Music Hall this April — and the legendary Brooklyn-born entertainer is honoring educators in the process.

The Manilow Music Project awards teachers and schools across the country with instruments and scholarships. High school students can submit the names of their favorite music teachers and then vote to select the winner.

In New York, a teacher will be honored in each borough. Manilow joined "News All Day" to talk about the initiative and more.
