培养年轻人才的音乐课堂

The art of performance is continuing to be passed down through generations. Two years have passed since the public service project "Happy Music Classroom" opened its doors to poverty-stricken kids with musical dreams.

How are the young musicians in the making getting on? Some students recently came to Beijing to perform in the Great Hall of the People.

The show is a burst of ethnic flavour, Chinese elements and percussion sounds -- a chance for children to take their dreams to the stage. Since 2010, 125 music classrooms have been set up in 22 provinces and autonomous regions. Each classroom is fully equipped with musical instruments.

"Hope Project" aims to help children whose families are too poor to afford it to complete elementary school education.
