In the ‘Glee’ Era, Youth Choruses Pop Up All Over

This article is about the rise of members in choirs in the Bay area. The show Glee has inspired many kids around the United States and has caused a rise in the number of people joining the choir.  According to a recent poll by the National Association for Music Education, nearly half of the music teachers surveyed reported that  the TV show Glee had increased interest in their offerings. this new rise in members in school choirs has caused the music cuts to slow down.
I myself like Glee and I find this article a very good thing for the kids. they are feeling more safe to express themselves and at the same time it is minimizing the budget cuts in the music department in schools. It always surprises me how much of an impact little things can have on children.
