It reminds me of a documentary I saw a few years ago called 'mad hot ballroom' where kids in schools in Harlem were taught how to dance . The kids matured and basically it changed them and gave them something positive for their lives to revolve around. It had a profound effect on the community and their families. These types of initiatives are almost revolutionary in how they change kids' futures. Learning an instrument or starting a kid on the path of learning to play music is probably one of the greatest gifts you can give another human being.
