According to the lead teacher for the Rochester arts department, Alison Schmitt called it 'unbelievable' how just two humans care immensely about the people's children. Furthermore, Schmitt even said that the donations made by the couple have made a huge difference in the lives of students who see art as a form of escape. Sophomore William Delgado said that music can help to 'create somebody' as it created him. Even studies consistently show that music education helps children to do better in school and in overall performance. The 'legendary' couple was even honoured by the Foundation back in 2018 for their 'extraordinary' contribution.
