"In America, a lot of schools they don't have music at all," said Barwinski, "We are going to such schools which are very unprivileged and kids they cannot afford or their parents cannot afford to get private music lessons. So we are going to those schools and we are giving everything for free."

"It's not only a program; it's the curriculum in the school curriculum. So the kids are learning music like math or English. The whole second and third grade students at this school will have the lessons twice a week," said Barwinski.

"Music makes life better," says Lang Lang, who is on a mission to educate and inspire the next generation of classical music lovers to change their lives, the same way that music has changed his.

To date, more than 40 million children have been inspired to play piano because of Lang Lang.
