I believe that it will give children the drive to want to perform. Even if it is pop music, or hip hop, at least the children are wanting to perform. Then the schoo's job would be done if they show children that classical music is fun to perform also. That way we can keep young children interested in learning an instrument in school, and may be able to save a few children music programs that could have been cut, if this show had not had such an impact on schools. my answer to your question is this: I have a feeling that this may have a good impact on music in the classroom later on in time.
