Music nowadays seems to be one of the most popular hobbies that the youngsters are indulging in. For some, it may be just a pure form of entertainment or a way of living, whereas for the others, it can be a serious escape from their stressful lives. They use music as a medium of conveying their suppressed emotions. Not too surprisingly, it makes them really into music.
Because of the different influences that the youth are exposed into, they are easily acquiring the curiosity of engaging into learning music. It may not exactly be reading musical notes and the other formal stuff regarding such, but at least, something highly relevant to it like playing musical instruments or simply singing.
Before, people, specially the youth, viewed Music, a subject in their primary and secondary schooling, as a conservative and boring one. With lots of different bits and pieces that should be memorized and understood without knowing their use and purpose, music then had been a vague and dull form of school activity to do.
Perhaps, the reason is that they relate music with “church” where they usually hear the hymns and praises when they were kids. They thought music should be solemnly expressed all the time.
As these young people aged up, they began to realize how interesting music could be far from what they used to perceive. From all the different genres and styles, they found a match. I am truly glad to say that finally, they are now fascinated with music learning as well as music teaching.
Many are aware that music centers began to spring suddenly nowadays. People look for formal lessons and their aim is, of course, to learn music. They also want to develop the talents they believe they are blessed with.
Music teaching is definitely an issue when talking about learning music. Aside from being considered as something pretty difficult and tedious, many believe that it requires lots of effort, patience, and passion in doing so.
However, with the kinds of trends, technology and methods that we have right now, music teaching has become less complicated. Indeed, different resources and tools are made readily available to be an aid to anyone who has interests in music teaching. It may be through various means like seeking the help and guidance of music enthusiasts and experts, enrolling in various learning centers, reading music-related books, availing advanced music gadgets, or browsing the web.
Music teaching has been both the career and passion of many musically inclined individuals around the globe. Thus, schools of music spring forth worldwide, paving the way for music enthusiasts for greater opportunities globally. That is how powerful music and music teaching can be.

I'll take stab at one of your questions–this is just a very partial answer–as you can see there is quite a lot to what you are asking about.
"how this morphed into the 'atonal' style, and what the significance of 'atonal' is"
Atonal simply means without a tonal center. Tonal music is based on the idea that one "tone" is more important than the rest. This "tone" provides the point of departure and conclusion for a piece of tonal music, thus explaining our satisfaction once we reach the end and achieve "tonal resolution." With this expectation comes the power to deter, impede, and "deceive." In most tonal pieces, drama arises from establishing a key, moving away from it, and returning. This is the basic idea of sonata form, a design which forms the basis of most of Beethoven's major works.
As time passed, the methods for creating this tonal drama intensified (i.e. composers had to move farther and farther away from the tonal center). This was necessary because the traditional key relationship became "old hat" and unexciting as the 19th century progressed. As a result, the tonal system started to break down. You can hear this most clearly in the works of Wagner, Strauss, and Mahler. The sense of one "tone" or key as most important is vague and passing. This helps to create the sense of "longing" or "desire" in their music–as the music truly avoids closure or resolution.
By the turn of the century, composers like Schoenberg, Webern, and Berg felt that the expressive potental of tonality had been used up and over explored. They turned to explicitly creating atonal works–works without any sense of a center or need for resolution. All of these composers were also influenced by Brahms' technique of varied repetition, so there is little direct repeptition in their music–which can make it diffucult to grasp on one hearing. Their music might also be called "expressionist"–depicting intense, dark, and terrific psychological states.
Some people have compared tonality and its demise to social structures in European society. Traditional tonality is like feudal system–there is a ruler (tonic–the "tone"), to which all other tones are subservient, etc. The breakdown of tonality follows a similiar breakdown of "centrality" in European society.
