| Abstract | At the end of "Glee's" most recent season finale, Will Schuester--show choir director, student role model, and all-around good guy despite an impending midlife crisis--abandons his long-time Broadway dream so he can continue to foster a love of music among his adoring students. In the real world, of course, real music teachers are continually doing their best to foster a love of music among their real students. And one of the major factors with which they're contending along the way is the influence of "Glee" itself. Like most phenomena, the hit Fox TV drama series is neither all good nor all bad. It has drawn a landslide of media attention and assorted studies, not to mention throngs of vocal supporters and detractors who speak up in a gamut of forums, including those on the MENC website. Supporters maintain that "Glee" has given choral groups a new level of cool. They also claim that the show has elevated choir group numbers, expanded choral repertoire, and indirectly aided the fight against cuts to school arts programs. Those who are less enamored say that "Glee" sets unrealistic expectations for music students, provides an inaccurate barometer for teachers, is too heavy on drama and too light on musical substance. But love it or hate it, many teachers have noted an uptick in participation in existing school choral programs since the show--inspired in part by creator Ryan Murphy's own choir experiences growing up in Indiana--debuted in 2009.
