Video Text: Anatole Wieck, Professor of Music, School of
Performing Arts, University of Maine: "Pop music is a little bit more
like a newspaper--something that is very important today. But classical
music is something more like Shakespeare or Dostoyevsky--something that
lasts over the centuries. Classical music is something that connects all
the societies throughout history. Another thing is that the kids do know
pop music. This is something they are already very familiar with, and
classical music is something that they are not. The kids that are
learned in the program, now they know both."
